And I knew it made me wonder what kind of twisted mind
C Am Fm
Would ever hurt her, so thoughtless and unkind
C Am Fm7
But a monster so cruel can't be that hard to find

So I started wearing warpaint and I gathered all my friends
Am C
For Cecilia we'd be hunters 'till the end
She was built for a perfect picture, but she came to represent
Am C
Though I guess I never understood exactly what it meant
Fm C Am Fm
Oh I know Cecilia and her sister were just statues made of stone
C Am Fm
But I still missed her and now her sister's all alone
C
No that just won't do!
Am Fm7
So let's raid the vandal's homes
Fm
Boys
C
So we ventured out at sunrise
Am
With our torches and our spears
C
And our shotguns and our fears
Am
And our carefully hidden tears
C
For Cecilia, Cecilia
Fm C
Now I'm thinking of the moment
Am Fm
When we can look them in the eye
C Am Fm
And make them sorry, 'cause tonight they're gonna die
C
Yeah, we'll shoot them up dead!
Am Fm7
Leave their bodies where they lie
Fm
Boys
C
So now we're following the pieces of Cecilia to the door
Am C
Every shattered limb repeatedly reminding us of what we're searching for
And the sleepers have woken for now they have an aim
Am C
Yes they're quite aware of the cold hard fact that the city's loss could be their gain
Fm C
They are dreaming of, the feeling of!
Am Fm C Am Fm
A trophy in their arms, a hero's welcome, claiming women with their charms
C Am Fm7
Oh I'm sorry if I hurt you, you know I swear I meant no harm
Fm
Baby
C Em7 Am Cm7
So the trail, it keeps on turning as we wander through the streets
Fm C Em7 Fm
I keep looking at, the pieces of Cecilia at my feet
C
But the strangest thing occurs to me
When I stop to look around
Am C
Oh I'd swear we are returning to the center of the town!
Fm C
Yes we're back here, where we started
Am Fm C
Where Cecilia used to stand, but her sister looks different
Am Fm
Please, tell me boys, if you can?
C
Is that a smile on her face?
Am Fm7
Is that a hammer in her hand?
