You drop a kid in gasoline
Emaj7/G#
And give him a lit match

And slap him on the ass

When he lights himself aflame

Like the man who pays his wife
Emaj7/G#
Two hundred pounds to have sex
Gm6#5                              Esus4/F#   E
Because it's the only way he can come

Like the girl, born a princess
Emaj7/G#
Too early or too late
Gm6#5                   Esus4/F#              E
Who waits and waits and knows she'll never be queen

E F#m7/E
What's left?
E F#m7/E
The senile cat's incessant meow
E F#m7/E
The childrеn's favourite canned cow
E F#m7/E
The soundtrack of an unkеpt house
E F#m7/E
The soundtrack of an abandoned spouse
C#sus4
N.C.
What's left?

Esus2                      Esus2b5
The whirring cogs of futile despair
G#7                            E
The anguish of unanswered prayers
G#m11        C#7sus4 E         Amaj7
The writhing mass of moaning torment

E F#m7/E

You lure a fly to a blazing lamp
Gm6#5
Shut the lid tight and watch it dance about
             Esus4/F#  E
'Til it dies

F#7sus4/E
Like Sirin's chimp
Emaj7/G#
Who, when given a pen
Gm6#5                         Esus4/F#  E
Draws only the bars of his cage
F#7sus4/E
Like the gown unworn
Emaj7/G#
Like the lawn overgrown
Gm6#5
Like the car, all rust

Esus4/F#
Like the lungs, black with tar
C#7sus2
Like the bones, black with dust
Esus4/F#
Like the heart, black with shame
C#7sus2
Like the eyes, black with age
Esus4/F#
Like the stillborns living in his formaldehyde grave
C#7sus2                               A#7b5
Like his mouth open, crying out to be saved

F#7sus4/E
Emaj7/G#
Gm6#5
Esus4/F#  E
F#7sus4/E
And I'm hiding from the government
Emaj7/G#
And my fictional wife
Gm6#5
From my dreams and from my memories
Esus4/F#             E
I am running from my life

F#7sus4/E
I'm hiding from you
Emaj7/G#
I'm hiding from you
              Gm6#5
I'm hiding from you
       Esus4/F#  E
I'm hiding from you

F#7sus4/E
I'm hiding from my mistress
Emaj7/G#
And her dream sextets
Gm6#5
I’m hiding from my family
Esus4/F#     E           F#7sus4/E
I’m hiding from the explanations
Emaj7/G#
And of all I’ve been doing wrong
Gm6#5
I'm hiding from you I'm hiding from you
Esus4/F#         E
I'm hiding from you
F#7sus4/E
I'm hiding from your lips
Emaj7/G#
I'm hiding from your mouth
Gm6#5
I’m hiding from your room
Esus4/F#         E
I’m hiding from doubt
F#7sus4/E
I’m hiding from living
Emaj7/G#             Gm6#5    Esus4/F#  E
I’m hiding from everything
F#7sus4/E
When did I meet you?
Emaj7/G#
Maybe three years ago
Gm6#5
So much has happened since
Esus4/F#                  E
You were a million fears ago
F#7sus4/E          Emaj7/G#
So many since have taken your place
Gm6#5                    Esus4/F#  E
A million more things to keep me awake
F#7sus4/E
No! I don't sleep any more
Emaj7/G#
I just rest my eyes
Gm6#5
I'm running from your lips
Esus4/F#         E
I'm running from your cries
F#7sus4/E
Your convulsions that crack
Emaj7/G#
The crust of the earth
Gm6#5
Your pantomime moans
Esus4/F#      E
So forced, so rehearsed
F#7sus4/E
You're the first I call
Emaj7/G#
But I hate the sound of your voice
Gm6#5
I hate the words you use
Esus4/F#         E
The phrases you think so choice
F#7sus4/E
But I'd kiss you a million times
Emaj7/G#
If you'd only turn your head
Gm6#5
But you never turn your head
              Esus4/F#           E
just like me, you're not alive, you're dead, you're dead
F#7sus4/E
In the German black forest of which I know nothing
Emaj7/G#
I dream you ride a black horse
Gm6#5
Back and forth
Esus4/F#       E
Back and forth Back and forth
F#7sus4/E
With no compass to follow
Emaj7/G#
Or landmark to reach
Gm6#5
You perambulate aimlessly through
Esus4/F#    E
nondescript trees
F#7sus4/E
In the nondescript forest
Emaj7/G#
Of which I know nothing
Gm6#5
And can't visualise at all
Esus4/F#        E
Save your faint silhouette
F#7sus4/E
And I clutch and it evades
Emaj7/G#
I wake from the dream
Gm6#5
No, no, none of it’s true
Esus4/F#         E
I don’t sleep, I don’t sleep!
F#7sus4/E
I wander through cowardice,
Emaj7/G#
Thought and regret
Gm6#5
Through nothingness
Esus4/F#                 E
Through sagas that never took place
F#7sus4/E
Your kiss, never given
Emaj7/G#
Your touch, never felt
Gm6#5
Your words, never spoken
Esus4/F#   E
Your gift, never dealt
F#7sus4/E
Your lies, all around
Emaj7/G#
Your deceit, infinite
Gm6#5
I’m hiding from your
Esus4/F#                E
never ending torrent of shit
F#7sus4/E
Like the spouse happily married
Emaj7/G#
Who still dies alone
Gm6#5
Like the world famous actor
Esus4/F#               E
Who's still completely unknown
F#7sus4/E
Like the German black forest
Emaj7/G#
Of you I know nothing
B9sus4
I know not your eyes, your skin, your stench, your sins, your arms, your hold, your heart,
your folds, your nails, your grip, your grin, your tics, your sex, your shame
N.C.
I know only your name
F#7sus4/E
And what’s left of the lover
Emaj7/G#
Who doesn’t exist?
Gm6#5
Who knows not how many
Esus4/F#              E
Fantasies involve her kiss?
F#7sus4/E
And what’s left of the dreamer
Emaj7/G#
Who dreams, and dreams, and dreams and drea
Gm6#5
And who thinks he isn’t dreaming
Esus4/F#              E
But thinks that he is free
F#7sus4/E               Emaj7/G#
And what of the endless, heedless, aren't we
Gm6#5
Will it leave me be?
Esus4/F#  E
No!
F#7sus4/E
When the smoke clears
Emaj7/G#
It remains, your name
Gm6#5
When the smoke clears
Esus4/F#      E
It remains it remains
F#7sus4/E
When the smoke clears
Emaj7/G#
It rains, it rains
Gm6#5
When the smoke clears
               B9sus4
it's all i have left
