E A
Cause I lost my job
E A
Two weeks before Christmas.
E A
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
E A
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business.
E A
While the rain drank champagne
E A
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted.
E A
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got
E A
Is the one I've never tasted.
E A G#m
Oh! But they'll take their bonus pay
B
To Molly McDonald.
E A G#m
Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys...
B E
Is bought or borrowed.
E A E A
Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours.
E A
But it's I who pays the rent
E A
For these fingered-face out-of-tuners.
E A E A
And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening.
E
Cause your queen of hearts, who is half a stone
A E A
And likes to laugh alone, is always threatening you with leaving
E A G#m
Oh but they play those token games
B
On Willy Thompson.
E A G#m
And give a medal to replace the son
B
Of Mrs. Annie Johnson
E A
Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues
E A
And I explained that I had overpaid them.
E A
So overdued I went to the company store
E A
And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded.
E A E A
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill.
E A E A
Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still.
E A (2x)
E A
Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
E A
In weekends of whiskey sours.
E A
Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book
E A
And plant flowers?
