Song: Song Against Sex
Bb
And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from this hands
F
And when I put my arms around him
I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
Bb
And an eeriness surrounded when his tongue began to speak
F
And he said, "Oh boy you are so pretty
Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string..."
Bb
And when I finally kissed him the whole world began to ring
F
Lost like a bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both sides
Bb
And I knew the world was over so I took a look outside
F
And watched the fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vane and the tops of trees
Bb
And the waiting scene and the Sunday dream
F Bb
They're all waiting here for me
Bb
Deli markets with their flower stands
And pretty girls and the burning men
F
Hanging out on the hooks next to the window displays
And I took out my tongue twice removed from my face
Bb
Across a bridge and across the mountains
Threw a nickel in a fountain
F
To save my soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take
Bb
To soothe my mind so I'm always sober
Always aching, always heading towards
F
Mass suicide, occult figurines
And wasted gas-station attendents
Attending to their jobs
Bb
And a nice drive in the country
Finds a nice cliff to drop off
F
Oh when this life just gets so grating
All the grittiness of life
Bb
But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you
F Bb F Bb
You're too wonderful to die
Bb
And the last one tore a picture
From the pornographic page
But all the pleasure points attacking
All the looks of love were staged
F
And it's a lie that you've been given
It just hurts you every day
Bb
So why should i lay here naked
When it's just too far away
F
From anything we could call loving
Any love worth living for
Bb
So I'll sleep out in the gutter
You can sleep here on the floor
F
And when I wake up in the morning
I won't forget to lock the door
Bb
'Cause with a match that's mean and some gasoline
F Bb
You won't see me anymore
