intro :
Am x4

Am Am
a monk with a hard – on , and a lavender robe
Dm E
that scratches his thighs , through the hat that he strode
Am Am
as he follows a path , filled with every desire
Dm E Am
and mimics his footsteps , and sets his prayers on fire .

Am Am
well i too have chosen , that which left no choice
Dm E
to sing without loving , a solitary voice ,
Am Am
to observe with passion , each careful denial
Dm E Am
the protrusions which give my life meaning for a while .

Am Dm
sometimes i see you in berries and weeds
C F
you’re brushing your teeth with liquorice seeds
F A#
standing too close , pulling your clothes ,
E
smiling at god and the meaning of life grows .

Am Am
no and i’ll never tell , and i’ll never know
Dm E
what candles you light , after the show
Am Am
and i’ll never tell , and i’ll never ask
Dm E
the meaning of life after mass .

Am Am7
