[Verse]
A C#m You drop a kid in gasoline Gm And give him a lit match
And slap him on the ass
F#m E When he lights himself aflame A Like the man who pays his wife C#m Two hundred pounds to have sex Gm7 F#m Em Because it's the only way he can come A Amaj7 Like the girl, born a princess A G# Too early or too late Gm Who waits and waits and knows she'll never be queen F#m E Eadd2 F#m E What's left? F#m E Eadd2 F#m E B What's left? E The senile cat's incessant meow E The childrеn's favourite canned cow
E Eadd
The soundtrack of an unkеpt house
E
The soundtrack of an abandoned spouseE

E Em The whirring cogs of futile despair E Dbm7 The anguish of unanswered prayers A C#m7 The writhing mass of moaning torment F#m E Eadd2 F#m E B What's left?

A C#m You lure a fly to a blazing lamp Gm Shut the lid tight
And watch it dance about
F#m E 'Til it dies A Like Sirin's chimp C#m Who, when given a pen Gm F#m E Draws only the bars of his cage
E E G#m G#m
A Like the gown unworn C#m Like the lawn unmowed/overgrown F# Like the car, all rust F#m Like the lungs, black with tar F#m Like the bones, black with dust F#m Like the heart, black with shame F#m Like the eyes, black with age F#m Like the stillborns living in his formaldehyde grave F#m A# Like his mouth open, crying out to be saved A B A# What is left? E A# What is left? A What is left? B E What is left?

A And I'm hiding from the government E And my fictional wife Gdim From my dreams and from my memories F#m E I am running from my life A E Gdim I'm hiding from you, I'm hiding from you F# E I'm hiding from you A I'm hiding from my mistress E And her dream sextets Gdim I’m hiding from my family F#m E A I’m hiding from the explanations Em Gdim F#m7 Of all I’ve been doing wrong E A I'm running from your lips E I'm running from your mouth Gdim I’m hiding from your room F#m E I’m hiding from doubt A I’m hiding from living E I’m hiding from everything Gdim F#m E I'm hiding from you (5x very fast) A When did I meet you? Em Maybe two years ago D#m So much has happened since F#m7 E You were a million fears ago A Em So many since have taken your place Gm7 Gm F#m7 E A million more things to keep me awake A No! I don't sleep any more E I just rest my eyes Gm I'm running from your lips F#m7 E I'm running from your cries A Your convulsions that crack G#m7 The crust of the earth Gdim Your pantomime moans F#m7 E So forced, so rehearsed A You're the first I call G#m I hate the sound of your voice Gm I hate the words you use F#m E The phrases you think so choice A But I'd kiss you a thousand times Ab If you'd only turn your head Gdim But you never your head, you'll never turn back F#m E Because just like me, you're not alive, you're dead, you're dead A Ab In the German black forest of which I know nothing D# I dream you ride a black horse
Back and forth
F# Back and forth E Back and forth A With no compass to follow Ab Or landmark to reach Gm F# E You perambulate aimlessly through nondescript trees A In the nondescript forest Eb Of which I know nothing D# And can't visualise at all F# E Save your faint silhouette A And I clutch and it evades Ab I wake from the dream D# No, no, none of it’s true F# E I don’t sleep, I don’t sleep! A I wander through cowardice, E Thought and regret Gm A Through nothingness, through sagas E That never took place A Your kiss, never given Ab Your touch, never felt Gm Your words, never spoken F#m E Your gift, never dealt A Your lies, all around
Your deceit, infinite
I’m hiding from your never ending torrent of shit
Like the spouse happily married
Who still dies alone
Like the world famous actor
Who's still completely unknown
Like the German black forest
Of you I know nothing
I know not your eyes, your skin, your stench, your sins, your arms, your hold, your heart,
A G#m your folds, your nails, your grip, your grin, your tics, your sex, your shame D# I know only your name
And what’s left of the lover
F#m Who doesn’t exist? E Who knows not how many fantasies A Involve her kiss?
And what’s left of the dreamer
E Who dreams, and dreams, and dreams and dreams… Gdim And who thinks he isn’t dreaming F# But thinks that he is free E A And what of the endless, heedless, needless are we
And what of the endless, heedless, needless are we
G And what of the endless, heedless, needless are we G Will it end G Will it ever let me be? F# E No, When the smoke clears, it rains, it pours A When it rains, it pours E When it rains, your name E When the smoke clears, what's left?
