[Bm]
[Em]
I'll be down to warm and chill, throw out jacks and their deals,
The ragged cup and the twisted pot, the fixie cheese and the sick [G]
rasu,
The low sinister [Bm] dinner and deals, the male fatties wicked wheels,
A bone rising from my throat, all things but a maraca,
And my mercy's tears are [F#] waiting, and [B] I think my head is [E] burning,
And away I'm yearning to [D] be done with all this weighing on the [Dm] truth,
And I'm more alive than just [F] for a tooth, and in a way I'm [C] sold the truth,
And I'm not afraid [Em] to die, [Em]
it's a good sign, I can't allow,
A blackened tooth, a scarred thumb, the walls of bed, like one of kind,
But they are the sick breath of mine, they are the sick breath of mine,
They are the sick breath of mine, they are the sick breath of mine,
And I hear stories [F#] from the chamber, a voice was calling to [E] me,
[E] Like someone raised a spring, [D] and died upon the cross,
But I [Dm] see it's deep so thin, and it was [F] waiting,
Was a culprit for my [C] trade, or at least that's what [Em] I'm told,
I can't have any more, because it's [B] brother's fist,
[Em]
And if I did nothing, I'd challenge your insincerity,
And every stone, there's a name to know, [F#] and they all fight just to let them go,
But slow, but never slow, [D] all their feet are so cold,
Their ears [Dm] fill with water, [F] and they're running higher,
[C] And the eyes of heaven fall, [Em] and they are too blind,
Tis not my [B] pride, shame on this [E] pride
Like a mob, the drug [D] human telegride
[D] So I go [Dm] something alive
Cause [F] I'm higher than everyone [C] else
And if we are [Em] never loved
Then human is no evil
We're so willing, think that's good
Cause our love suffers shackles
I've never met a man more lost
And if the [E] bus is she's away then
I think my head is a burden
And only I'm hearing it
And I'm in [D] a situation where the law is the way that I prefer
[Dm] Then I'm not going to let you [F] watch her
Lay on your shoulders
[C] And I'm not afraid to [Em] die
And if the bus is she's away [B] then
I think my head is a [E] burden
And I won't have a man to [D] be done with
And if the bus is just for me
Then I'm not going to hire this [F] person
And if the bus is over
[C] Then I'm not afraid to die
[Em] And if the bus is she's away then
[B] Then I think my head is a [E] burden
And only I'm spoiling all the [D] fun
By all these cruel consequences
And I'm not going to let [F] this person
Lay on your shoulders
[C] And I'm not afraid to die
[E] And if the bus is she's away then
I think my head is a burden
And only I'm hearing it
And I'm [D] not going to let this person
