Verse 1:
C#m
Winter isn't much here
Am6 E
Just a flinching centigrade
B7
Though the grasses all look jaundiced and the
Amaj7 E
Poplar branches flayed
B A E
Ooh-o-oh, the poplar branches flayed
C#m
Before your hysterical silence,

You came rapping at my door

With your body as a sacrament

Your mind a killing floor

Ooh-o-oh, your mind a killing floor
Refrain 1:

I've been trying to quell my anger

And not feel bitter about all the darkness you gave

But as always there's that device that I cannot disengage
Bb/A / Aadd6 /
Oooh
Bb/A / Aadd6 /
Oooh
Verse 2:
C#m Am6 E
Just as a Red Terror, you tried to kill what you couldn’t reign
B7 Amaj7 E
And now you're back in Knoxville masturbating your father's pain
B A E
Ooh-o-oh, masturbating your father's pain
Refrain 2:
G#m6 G#aug7
Stealing from his oration of filth ,
C# F#
I repeat the wickedness to force reactions out of you
A Bb/A A
But it never hurts as deeply as I want it to
Bb/A / Aadd6 /
mmm
Bb/A / Aadd6 /
ooh
Bb/A / Aadd6 /
oooh
Bb/A / Aadd6 /
Verse 3:
C#m Am6 E
I think I'll mix my medicine and explore it 'til I'm dull
B7 Amaj7 E
You made my sky a graveyard and my moon a funeral

Ooh-o-oh, my moon a funeral

Whatever happened to your star now?

I waited for you on O'Farrell street
