INTERLUDE 1
VERSE 1              " Well, you took me to the movies
                       You took me to the dance
                       You took me to your warehouse
                       Tied up in the back of your van
                       You said whip it out
                       And I started to shout
                       I'm in love with the woman again
VERSE 2              " Well, you took me to your office
                       We went to meet your folks
                       We went out to the garden shed
                       Where I took off all my clothes
                       And I was terrified by the look in your eyes
                       But there's a lot to loving I don't know
VERSE 3              " Well, you took me to the ceremony 
                       to sweat out all my fear
                       You came across the cosmic serpent
                       With pants rolling into his hair
                       If he's my spirit guide
                       I'm gonna stay inside
                       I'm never sleeping in a teepee again
INTERLUDE 2          " No no, no-no-no-no no
VERSE 4                (instrumental)
VERSE 5              " Well, you asked me where I came from
                       in the middle of round ten
                       I thanked you for the compliment
                       before you clarified what you meant
                       You said: "What the hell are you doing here?
                       There's a crawler in my apartment!"
VERSE 6              " Trout fishing in America
                       Made me go and buy a pole
                       But by the time I got around to reading the book
                       I was a celebrated deep sea pro
                       Was drinking Greyhounds
                       Way below the ground
                       On my very own TV show
VERSE 7                (play twice the second line of | E  | E  | D7 | A  |)
                       So our faces finally matched
                       The doctor took one look at me
                       And took a skin graft out of my ass
                       If this is what it takes
                       It takes you one date
                       I'm gonna put my member behind glass
                       If I make it out alive
                       From Hollywood and Vine
                       I'll build a cabin up in the Northwest
