[Ab] January 1979, what a terrible crime.
_ [E] My ear pressed against the pad [Ab] like it's locked on the wall of a half-naked [E] photograph.
My forehead no longer [Ab] squeaked with holy kisses.
Worthy of your [E] fiery looks, I was floating in a peaceful [Ab] sea, rescued by a sinking ship.
[Dbm] If I could [Abm] propel, _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Abm] you're insurmountable, no lower [Db] place to call upon.
[Dbm] You [Abm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ watch me like a ten-car [Abm] highway wreck with this hat, full of [E] nefariousity.
Just look at them at the top of the house
[Abm] What passers-by [Ab] from your seventh floor [E] balcony
And from such a height you [Abm] miscreant
You're small for sight, carry [E] on
Go for a conversation at the misguided insect
[Abm] And I'll be their classover king with a dance of [E] celebration
After _

_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ years with their friend on my [Abm] head
I remember this
My concern and [E] incomfortably numb
Death may be indulging in the [Abm] pleasures of the wealthy
But they [E] can't break it
For the first time the puzzle's [Abm] solved
Where did my heels and rags go?
[E] My lice and pomegranate sugar I borrowed
[Ab] For a time against
I forgot [Dbm] to return
I remember the matter
I [E]
always had to be
_ [Dbm] _ _ [Abm] I always had to be
And now I'm [Db] going blind
_ [Dbm] [Abm] I always had to be
And now I'm [Db] going blind
I remember the [Abm] miserable time I worked up there
And now I'm going [B] blind
