verse 1 
Bm 
Locked in a room full of words 
F#m 
I’m the one-eyed midget with the curse 
A 
The simpleton who sweetly smiles at his young lover now beguiled 
E                                                            B 
The sycophantic morons lied at Romeo who is the bride, let's ride 

Bm 
Stoned as I walk down the hall 
F#m 
The adman waits to hear the curse and call 
A 
The angels scream in discontent as to the river they are led 
E 
The actors bow and pay the rent, we cover them in cold cement 
B 
Let's swing for the crime everyone in double time 

 
       D             E          Bm 
And we hope that you had a good time 
     D             E          Bm 
Yeah smile as you sign on the line 
     D             E          Bm 
Because life on your knees can be fun 
     D             E          Bm 
Surprised now you're not the only one 


verse 2 
Bm 
Led like a lamb into this gloom 
F#m 
Yeah Freud is in the back room with his goons 
A 
Now they've got new experiments, the metal groans, the limbs are rent 
E 
The anti-heros’ mock dissent, we market now by mass consent 
B 
We swing for the crime everyone in double time

Bm 
Scream like you’ll burst if they cry 
F#m 
Is changed by the words that you learn 
A 
But Jack the Ripper is inside And Moriarty has imbibed 
E 
They live, they marry, all the while We laugh and have them circumcised 


       D             E          Bm 
And we hope that you had a good time 
     D             E          Bm 
Yeah smile as you sign on the line 
     D             E          Bm 
Because life on your knees can be fun 
     D             E          Bm 
Surprised now you're not the only one
