Chorus:
             C            G
So grab your rose and ringside seat
           C               G
We're back home at Conry's Bar
          C         G
The blond girl with her tattoo
     C               G
Reds and wine, cokes of course
    C        G
Oh, my Suzy, my Suzy
    C       G
Why did we ever start
     C                  G
It's morning now; you'd never know
F        D#
The gin, the gin
C
Glows in the dark, glows in the dark
[Interlude]
G  C  G  C  G
 
 
Verse 1:
    C              G
And underneath the black light
C          G
Underneath it all
     C            G
Four and forty redheads meet
     C             G
Come to doom, doom the dawn
     C                  G
With threats of gas and rose motif
           C          G
Their lips apart like swollen rose
      C                  G
Their tongues extend and then retract
A         D#
A redcap, a redcap
           C
Before the kiss, before the kiss

Verse 2:
G7
Doors like flint and window panes
    D7
And endless shadow bar
    C7
The owner's boys have gone to work
      A#7              C7
We'll stop big deals behind that bar
      G7
While outside on the turnpike
     D7
They got this new hit tune
C7
Thrills become as cheap as gas
    A#7
And gas as cheap as thrills
 
 
[Interlude]
G7  D7  C7  A#7
G7  D7  C7  A#7
 
 
Verse 3:
G7
One threat and mundane here at last
  D7
Expect to cross one more
C7
Lecherous, invisible
  A#7
Beware the limping cat
      G7
Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws
D7
Still ripe and fully bloomed
  C7
A rose and not from anywhere
     A#7
That you would know or I would care
 
 
[Interlude]
G7  D7  C7  A#7
G7  D7  C7  A#7
 
 
 
Verse 4:
        G7
And the owners act most cheerfully
     D7
Back home at Conry's Bar
C7
When their patron's thoughts at last
     A#7
Grow too big for their skulls
G7
Awful things are happening
      D7
We've let this drama fold
    C7
And now the time has come at last
   A#7
To crush the motif of the rose
 
 
[Interlude]
G7  D7  C7  A#7
G7  G7  G7  A#7 C7 G

It's morning now; you'd never know
F        D#
The gin, the gin
G            C     G            C
Glows in the dark, glows in the dark
