[Verse 1]
C# D#m
The man was trying to talk to me
Fm D#m
about scenes I did not know.
C# D#m
He asked me to spend the night with him,
Fm G#
so I said that I'd have to go.
C#
For the words spilled out
Fm
from the edge of his lips
F# C#
and fell down the side of his chin
C# D#m
as my mind moved away for a short holiday
F# C#
with a girl I had seen coming in
[Verse 2]
C# D#m
In her hair, you could smell the diesel fumes
Fm D#m
of a midnight motorway.
C# D#m
In her eyes, she keeps the summer times
Fm G#
where happier memories play.
C#
Yes, you know how sometimes,
Fm
when you're making up rhymes
F# C#
and you can't find a word that will fit?
C# D#m
Well, she was the one who got stuck on your tongue
F# C#
and gave you the option to quit.
[Interlude]
C# D#m Fm D#m C#
[Verse 3]
C# D#m
She split the night time with her smile
Fm D#m
and broke up the sky with her dreams
C# D#m
and she doesn't believe all the men she has known
Fm G#
were all real, for that's how it seems.
C# Fm
In her leather shines the darkness
F# C#
of the mentrrrrll??? parlour??? tonight,
C#
and she'll cut out your tongue
D#m
with each blade that she pulls
F# C#
though your conscience may put up a fight.
[Verse 4]
C# D#m
So, I watched her fumble with cigarettes
Fm D#m
and a trembling coffee cup.
C# D#m
Yet, I'd be there myself if I knew where she was,
Fm G#
but she sighed and her mind drifted off
C#
Yes, you know sometimes
Fm
when you're watching for signs
F# C#
and you can't find a look that will fit?
C# D#m
Well, she was the one who put out the sun
F# C#
and gave me a reason to quit.
[Interlude]
C# D#m Fm D#m C#
[Verse 5]
C# D#m
Panes of glass have shattered now
Fm D#m
and the wind comes racing in
C# D#m
to disconnect the spiders' webs
Fm G#
the spread their wings round the brim
C#
of the pots and the bottles
Fm
that soak in the dust
F# C#
with jungle of clothes that she keeps
C#
incase, maybe some day
D#m
she feels that she may
F# C#
become queen of the night as she sleeps.
[Verse 6]
C# D#m
G# trail of broken effigies
Fm D#m
lay scattered 'round her bed
C# D#m
the apples, the records, the cigarette ash
Fm G#
have melted into her head
C# Fm
and she takes off her clothes to a Portuguese hymn
F# C#
that she found in a jar on the beach
C# D#m
she has woven it seems a basket of dreams
F# C#
for the fruit that just out of reach.
[Interlude]
C# D#m Fm D#m C#
[Verse 7]
C# D#m
At last, she has tasted the opium sleep
Fm D#m
and wonders just how it will feel
C# D#m
when the fingers of fear touch her innermost soul
Fm G#
and the breath of life becomes real
C#
Well, you know how sometimes
Fm
you're alone in your mind
F# C#
and you've just found a piece that will fit?
C#
Well, she was the one
D#m
when all's said and done.
F# C#
who gave me the freedom to quit
[Verse 8]
C# D#m
The man was still trying to talk to me
Fm D#m
about scenes I did not know.
C# D#m
He asked me to enter a contract with him
Fm G#
so I said that I'd have to go.
C#
For the words spilled out
Fm
from the edge of his mouth
F# C#
and fell down the side of his face
C#
but my mind was away
D#m
on a short holiday
F# C#
with a girl I'd seen leaving the place.
