[Verse 1]
BbAnd the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out of his hand
F
And when I put my hands around him
I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
BbAnd an eeriness surrounded me
When his tongue began to speak
and he said,
FOh boy you are so pretty
Enough to wrap up tight in rice paper strings
BbAnd when I finally kissed him
The whole world began to ring,
FLost like a bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both sides
and I
Bbknew the world was over
So I took a look outside
FAnd watched the fires that were reaching up
to the weathervane and tops of trees
BbAnd the waiting scene and the sunday dream
They're all waiting here for me
(chord changes similar during trumpets\chorus)
[Verse 2]
BbDeli markets and the flower stands
Pretty girls and the burning men
FHanging out on the hooks next to window displays
And I took out my tongue twice removed from my face
BbAcross a bridge and across the mountains
Threw a nickel in a fountain
FTo save my soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take
to soothe my mind so I'm
BbAlways sober
Always aching
Always heading toward
Mass suicide, occult figurines
FAnd wasted gas station attendants
Attending to their jobs
BbAnd a nice drive in the country
Find a nice cliff to drop off, oh
FAnd this life just gets so grating
All the grittiness of life, but don't
BbTake those pills your boyfriend gave you
You're too wonderful to die
[Verse 3]
(trombone part)
BbAnd the last one tore a picture
From the pornographic page
And all the pleasure points attacking
All the looks of love were staged
FAnd it's a lie that you've been given
And it hurts you every day
BbSo why should I lay here naked
When it's just too far away
from anything
Fwe could call love,
Any love worth living for
BbSo I'll sleep out in the gutter
You can sleep here on the floor
FAnd when I wake up in the morning
I'll forget to lock the door
BbCause with a match that's mean and some gasoline
You won't see me any more

[Verse 1]

And the first one tore a picture

Of a dead and hanging man

Who was kissing foreign fishes

That flew right out of his hand

And when I put my hands around him

I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks

And an eeriness surrounded me

When his tongue began to speak

and he said,

Oh boy you are so pretty

Enough to wrap up tight in rice paper strings

And when I finally kissed him

The whole world began to ring,

Lost like a bell that's tipping over

With two cracks along both sides

and I

knew the world was over

So I took a look outside

And watched the fires that were reaching up

to the weathervane and tops of trees

And the waiting scene and the sunday dream

They're all waiting here for me

(chord changes similar during trumpets\chorus)

[Verse 2]

Deli markets and the flower stands

Pretty girls and the burning men

Hanging out on the hooks next to window displays

And I took out my tongue twice removed from my face

Across a bridge and across the mountains

Threw a nickel in a fountain

To save my soul from all these troubled times

And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take

to soothe my mind so I'm

Always sober

Always aching

Always heading toward

Mass suicide, occult figurines

And wasted gas station attendants

Attending to their jobs

And a nice drive in the country

Find a nice cliff to drop off, oh

And this life just gets so grating

All the grittiness of life, but don't

Take those pills your boyfriend gave you

You're too wonderful to die

[Verse 3]

(trombone part)

And the last one tore a picture

From the pornographic page

And all the pleasure points attacking

All the looks of love were staged

And it's a lie that you've been given

And it hurts you every day

So why should I lay here naked

When it's just too far away

from anything

we could call love,

Any love worth living for

So I'll sleep out in the gutter

You can sleep here on the floor

And when I wake up in the morning

I'll forget to lock the door

Cause with a match that's mean and some gasoline

You won't see me any more
