[F] I love the way you speak Huh?
[Bb]
And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from the sea
And [F] when I put my arms around him
Felt the blushing blood run through my [Bb] cheeks
And the eeriness surrounded
When his tongue began to speak
And he [F] said, oh boy, you are so pretty
And after I've tied in, [Dm] white paper [Bb] string
And when I'm finally kissed you
The whole world begins [F] to ring
Lost like a bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along [Dm] both sides
And [Bb] I knew the world was over
So I took a look [F] outside
And watched the fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vane
And the pots [Bb] upstream
And the waiting scene in the Sunday dream
They're waiting here [F] for me
[Bb]
Deli markets with their flower stands
Their pretty girls and their burning music
[F] Hanging out on the hooks
Sticking to the window display
And that slurp got my tongue
Trying to [Dm] remove from my face
[Bb] The talking bridge and across the mountains
There was nickel in a [F] fountain
Saved my soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have
The guts to take the [Bb] suit from Always sober
Always a game
Always heading for
That suicidal [F] figurine
Then waits for gas station attendants
Sending to their job
[Bb] And a nice drive in the country
And a nice flip to drop [F] off
Oh, and this life just gets so great
In all prettiness of life
[Bb] But don't take those pills that boyfriend gave you
Those wonderful, pretty [F] girls
[A] [Bb]
[F]
[A] [Bb]
The high-sulturate picture
From the pornographic phase
When all the pleasure points attacking
All the looks of love were staged
[F] And it's a lie that you can give it
It should hurt you every [Bb] day
So why should I lay here naked
When it's just too [F] far away
From anything we could call love
Love worth living for
So [Bb] I'll sleep out in the garden
You can sleep here on the floor
[F] And when I wake up in the morning
Got to lock the [C] door
[Bb] Cause if they match that to me
With some gasoline
You won't see me [F] anymore
[Bb]
[N]
