G                          D
the fat man started to say how he wants to kill his wife,
G                               D
as the dyke cuts off his tongue with a jagged knife.

Bridge:
Em
and the two are making passionate love
             G                                                  G      B7
and the dark blind man thinks hes seen enough,
Em
so he takes julies pen from her right hand
             G                                              G       B7
and he stabs his eyes as according to plan,
Em
cause the man in the back simply laughs and he smiles
        G                                        G       B7
and the blood spills out on linoleum tile
Em
and the fat man starts to eat the flesh of the whore
        G                                                 G B7
yea the moods a little different than a minute before

Outro:
G                     D
I reach down for the last cigarette in the pack,
G             D                            G
walk over and sit with the man in the back i ask him why,
D                             G*
he tips his hat and he smiles.
