[E]
[A] [E] Because I lost my job two [A] weeks before [E] Christmas,
[A] [E] and I talked to Jesus at the sewer, [A] and the
Pope said it was [E] none of his goddamn business, [A]
while [E] the rain drank champagne.
[A]
My Estonian archangel came [E] and got me wasted,
[A] [E] cause the sweetest kiss I ever got, [A] is the
one I've never [E] tasted.
[A] Oh but [E] they'll take their [A] bonus pay, [Ab]
to Molly [B] McDonald.
[A]
Neon lady, beauty's that which obeys, [Abm] is bought [B] or borrowed.
[E] [A]
[E] Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel, [A] full [E] of rumors,
[A] [E] but it's I who pays the rent, [A] for
these fingered face [E] are the tuners, [A]
and I make sixteen solid half hour friendships,
[E]
every evening, [A]
cause [E] your queen of hearts, who's half a stone and likes [A] to laugh alone,
is always threatening you [E] with leaving.
[A] Oh but they'll [E] play, [A] those token games, [Abm]
on Willie Thompson, [B] [E]
and give a medal to replace
the [A] son,
[Abm] of Mrs.
Annie [B] Johnson.
[E]
[E] Cause they told me everybody's gotta pay their dues, [A]
and I explained that I had [E] overpaid
them,
[A] [E] so overdue I went to the company store, [A] and the clerk there said [E] that they had just
been invaded, [A] so [E] I set sail in a teardrop, [A] and escaped beneath [E] the door sill, [A]
cause [E] the
smell of her perfume, echoes in my head still.
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] [E] Cause I see my people trying to drown the [A] sun, in weekends [E] of whiskey sours, [A]
[E] cause how
many times can you wake up in this comic book, [A]
and plant flowers.
