intro : Dm Am G x5

Dm Am
i’ll make you a deal , like any other candidate
G
we’ll pretend we’re walking home cause your future’s at stake
Dm Am
my set is amazing , it even smells like a street
G
there’s a bar at the end where i can meet you and your friend
Dm Am
someone scrawled on the wall i smell the blood of les tricoteuses
G
who wrote up scandals in other bars
Dm Am
i’m having so much fun with the poisonous people
G
spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up
Dm Am
some make you sing and some make you scream
G
one makes you wish that you’d never been seen
Dm Am
but there’s a shop on the corner that’s selling papier mache
G
making bullet – proof faces , charlie manson , cassius clay
Dm Am G
if you want it , boys , get it here , thing
Dm
so you scream out of line
Am G
i want you , i need you , anyone out there , any time
Dm Am
tres butch little number whines hey dirty , i want you
G
when it’s good , it’s really good , and when it’s bad i go to pieces
Dm Am G
if you want it , boys , get it here , thing
Dm Am
well , on the street where you live i could not hold up my head
G
for i put all i have in another bed
Dm Am
on another floor , in the back of a car
G
in the cellar of a church with the door ajar
Dm Am
well , i guess we must be looking for a different kind
G
but we can’t stop trying til we break up our minds
Dm Am
til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights
G
who press you on the ground while shaking in fright
Dm Am
i guess we could cruise down one more time
G
with you by my side , it should be fine
Dm Am
we’ll buy some drugs and watch a band
G
then jump in the river holding hands
