In the corner of the morning in the past
        E
I would sit and blame the master first and last
        A
All the roads were straight and narrow
        A
And the prayers were small and yellow
        E
and the rumour spread that I was aging fast
       D
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree
      E
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me

       E
Well I said hello and I said hello
      E
And I asked why not and I replied I don't know
      A
So we asked a simple blackbird who was happy as can be
       E
And he laughed insane and quipped Kahil Gibran
     D
So I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through
      E
For I realised that Gods a young man too

     E
So I said so long and I waved bye bye
      E
And I smashed my soul and traded my mind
    A
Got layed by a young bordello I was vaguely half asleep
             E
For which my reputation swept back home in drag
        D
And the moral of this magic spell negotiate my hide
     G
When God did take my logic for a ride
         E
Riding a long

He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips
    G
And showed me the leather belt round his hips
   C
my knees were shaking my cheeks aflame
   D
He said you'll never go down to the Gods again
            G
Turn around go back


   G
He struck the ground a cavern appeared
      A
And I smelt the burning pit of fear
   G
We crashed a thousand yards below
       D
I said do it again do it again
            G
Turn around go back


    G
His nebulous body swayed above
    G
His tongue swollen with devils love
    C
The snake and I a venom high
  D
I said do it again do it again
            G
Turn around go back


G
Breathe breathe breathe deeply
          A
And I was seething breathing deeply
  G
A spitting sentry horned and tailed
G
Waiting for you
