[Bm] [B]
[E] [Em]
[Bm]
[E] [Bm] [E]
[Bm] I'll be down warm and chill, two objects and their seals,
a raggedy cup and a twisted mop, a beaten cheese and shit in my soup.
Oh, sinister inner [Em] heels, a male [Bm] Charlie's dick and heels,
[Em] a whole bone [Bm] arising from my food, [B] all thanks but a run [Em] good.
And the mercy seed is [E] a-waiting, and I think my head is a-burning,
and the way I'm yearning to [D] be a jumper for this whale of a suit.
And I put a line in the tooth [F] for the tooth, and in a way I smoke the [C] suit,
and I'm not afraid [Em] to die.
[Bm] [Em]
[Bm] [E]
[Em] [Bm] [Em]
It's a [B] bright sun and had a [Em] log, a blackened tooth made scarlet from
the walls [Bm] of that black [Em] bottom kind.
The [Bm] other sick breath in my [Em] hide.
The other [Bm] sick breath in [Em] my hide.
The other [Bm] sick breath in my [Em] hide.
The other [B] sick breath that [Em] lived in my hide.
And I hear stories from [E] the chamber, how Fred was a bold, intimate jump,
and next to a ragged stranger [D] died upon the bus.
And what [Dm] I say, it seems so fitting,
[F] as we were saying comments [C] about trade,
but at least that's what [Em] I'm told.
[B] [Em]
[Bm] [Em]
[B] About killing a tad of evil across his brother's fester.
That thug they find did nothing to challenge or resist.
[Em] And [E] heaven is thrown as a way to go, and the offal is crushed and the chest is full.
[E] The noble and gentle, [D] and all the sweet does unfold.
Down here [Dm] it's a man of the wet wire, [F] and the body is on [C] fire.
And God is never [E] falling.
And [B] to the cross you see I climb.
My head is shaved, my head is white.
And I came out the trash [D] to insult the bride.
So I [Dm] throw something out of line.
[F] Just to hide and tell for a while.
[C]
And in a way I never.
[E] I kill animals called evil.
[Bm] [Em] It's an old [B] selfish shackle.
[Em] I [B] don't have a weapon of good.
[E] I'm a merciless, deceitous waiter.
And I think my head is a burden.
And in a way I'm a near accident.
[D] God will fall this way and I'm the gate.
And I'll fart, I am too [F] fortunate.
And in a way I'm so [C] fortunate.
And I'm not [Em] afraid.
I am a merciless, deceitous waiter.
[B] And I think my head is a [E] burden.
In a way I'm a hope in.
[D] To get drunk, the lungs of satisfaction.
[Dm] And I'll fart, I am too [F] fortunate.
And in a way [C] I'm so fortunate.
And I'm not afraid [Em] to die.
I'm a merciless, deceitous waiter.
And I think my head is a burden.
In a way I'm a sport.
[D] I'll fart, I am always a lump of [Dm] sadispray.
And I'll fart, I am [F] too fortunate.
And in a way I am [C] not.
And I'm afraid I'm [E] so alive.
