[F#]
[A]
[B] [E]
With handmade silver sparkles like [F#] a well-dressed sequined whore
[A] Your lady-like deceptions [B] keep reaching out [E] for more
And you ask me for nothing, [F#] nothing's not enough
And [A] the fisherman, he puts a claim on you, but [B] it's nothing but [E] a bluff
So with jealous hands tied round my back, [B] I stumble across the floor
Not [A] knowing how to speak, I keep reaching for [E] the door
I know you know me well, I say, [B] cause I'm the palace guard
[A] Remember me, we made love [B] today at the king's [E] bazaar
And [B] you look at me with eyes that never [E] see
I [B] can feel something start to die [B] inside [E] of me
So before you show me everything,
[F#] something you must know
[A] I've worked with your friend John the Geek [F#] and his sidewalk traveling [E] show
I know your childhood tale of dreams,
[B] very well disguised
So [A] you don't have to fake it [F#] anymore, it's [B] all been [E] memorized
You speak in words, but freedom's never seen
And now I realize, for you it's all a [E] dream
[B]
[A] [B]
[E]
And you speak to me with feelings, real as [F#] ceiling wax
[A] Since the nearness dawns, the moth is gone, [B] leaving [E] trails tracks
All
[E]
you pillaged people sing your songs [B] of the morning [F#] sunless skies
[A] Don't you think it's time we moved along, set [B] the raven to the [E] fly
