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