Ok Heironymous

Graham Parker · Other Songs - Graham Parker

Pre>g c

I break a heart in a thousand places, she makes a slur against other races

G c d

He rejects all of the unpretty faces, sticks them full of knives

G c

I take a shot at birds flying south, he takes the gun barrel into his mouth

G c d

She takes a rope and ties up the house, with the kids inside

G c

They just want to curl right up and die

G am d

Them and us are only passing by

G c d em

Hey hieronymous I know where your garden grows

F c d

I know where your bloody roses bloom

G c d em

Hey hieronymous tell me what delights there are

F c d

Right outside this window or inside this room

G c

Just taste the odor of burning skin,

the pitchfork tongues and the rot within

G c d

The torture victim's wiped-out grin nothing can erase

G c

Somebody's pouring salt on a wound,

scooping out monkey's brains with a spoon

G c d

Working on warfare up on the moon, that's the latest phase

G c

We just want to curl right up and die

G am d

You and me are only passing by (chorus)(guitar solo)

G c

Germans and turks and english nerks spew out of doorways going beserk

G c d

Inside of everyone someone lurks, they don't even know

G

Bring them all in, yeah, they're welcome here

C

You can't sell your work? then cut off your ear

G c d

Put it right on the table there, all tied up in bows



(chorus) (repeat chorus) (outro same as verse) /pre>
