Verse 2: 
 
	Gm     G       Eb        Bb 
	My Amazon six-triggered bride 
	(Bb)                 Cm       Gm 
	Now searching for a place to hide 
	(Gm)         G         Eb  Bb 
	Still sees truth quite easily 
	(Bb)                Cm  Gm 
	Shrouds all else in mystery 
	       Cm    Eb7        Gm 
	While madmen     in top    hats and tails 
	Cm             Eb7      Gm 
	   Impale themselves on    six inch nails 
	     Bb    Gm      Cm   Gm 
	And some Arabian   also-ran 
	Bb         Gm        Cm      Gm 
	   Impersonates a   watering can 
 
	{repeat intro w/full band after each verse} 
 
Verse 2: 
 
	Some Santa Claus-like face of note 
	Entreats my ears to set afloat 
	My feeble, sick, and weary brain 
	And I am overcome with shame 
	And hide inside my overcoat 
	And hurriedly begin to quote 
	And some Arabian   sheik most grand 
	Impersonates a   hot dog stand 
 
Instrumental break: 
 
	(guitar solo over verse chords) 
 
Verse 3: 
 
	Red Cross ambulance outside 
	Could only mean that I must hide 
	'Til dusk and finally the night 
	When I will make a hasty flight 
	Across the sea and far away 
	To where the weary exiles stay 
	And some Arabian   oil well 
	Impersonates a   padded cell 
 
Coda: 
 
	     Bb   Gm       Cm   Gm 
	And some Arabian   oil well 
	Bb         Gm       Cm      Gm 
	   Impersonates a   padded cell
