   Cm       Bb         D#         G#
I in my longing fly out in the night

Cm            Bb             G#
unveiled and irreverently dressed

    Cm            Bb            D#        G#
I'm lip-stuck and liquored up- picking a fight

         Cm            D#           G#
I'm the wicked wicked witch of the west

Cm         Bb         D#          G#
over the alleyways, backward and blind

        Cm         Bb          G#
and the sad and insatiable sprawl

Cm         Bb          D#         G#
over the marketplace, darkly defined

Cm           D#           G#
his desert is sounding a call 

Cm        Bb          D#         G#
he was a businessman twenty-five years

         Cm         Bb           G#
when the angel appeared with his orders

     Cm         Bb         D#        G#
I am making you mine, my divine volunteer

       Cm          D#           G#
and I'm flying you over the border

     Cm        Bb            D#         G#
and he can't recall where it all fell apart

       Cm         Bb        G#
was it north of medina or south?

          Cm        Bb           D#        G#
where the prophecy ends and the politics start

          Cm          D#        G#
where the weapon went into his mouth 

Cm              C#                 Cm     C     Fm
and everyone's sleeping, and he's flying out

               C#        Cm   C      Fm 
and no one can keep him down now 

     Cm        Bb         D#         G#
the morning delivers the news to my door

        Cm        Bb          G#
of my president's war in the east

    Cm          Bb         D#           G#
but he doesn't tell me and I don't know who's

       Cm         D#          G#
in the belly and who is the beast

            Cm            Bb                 D#             G#
when there's no place to run to, when there's no place to hide

          Cm           Bb          G#
it won't matter whose side you are on

         Cm             Bb                D#           G#
like the bomb in the basement we couldn't stop if we tried

       Cm                    D#                    G#
and it won't be long, and it won't be long, and it won't be long...
