VERSE 1
I’m at
A
tacking the ones who are weakest of all
On their
A
dim walk to work with their eyes slit so small
For the
A
dawn and the path and their shekels of mine
A
Fortune won’t smile, I must be brutal or die
Now I
A
live by the railway with the rest of the coven
In a
A
hovel vibrating lit by tandoori
D
ovens
Where we keep the ransom
A
ees
A
We get raided on Fridays, we get drunk when they leave us
A
We discuss ways to die, ways we could have gone
D
wrong
We don’t
D
mention the now
We can
D
see no way out
We
D
draw skulls on the walls
We draw
D
blood from our
C
balls
We play
C
catch with the rats
Still the
C
silence won’t
Bb
crack though we heave and we hack

VERSE 2
A
Oh let us
A
mention her torso: heat, electrical chaos
If it
A
burst she would die, oh, oh, oh
D
Wasn’t it kind of her to let me
A
in?
A
Will it get fat when it’s older
A
Get all riddled with cancer
A
While she stays with (the) same person who is fucking me
D
now?
See the
D
view from above of the sofa of love
With the
D
roof cut away, cars and people out there
And the
C
stains spreading out and out, blood running
Bb
cold
CHORUS 2
