Painting hung behind me is presented to the whores

     C                            G
By a man who plays his sitar on a Monday afternoon

       Am                                 C
In the washroom while his typist collects percentages from the moon

        Bm                     C
It's an ordinary diary extract photo stack from life

       Em                          C
Of the murderous companion and his wife

           A             G            C
And he's a long way from Jerusalem by now

         Em                                      Am
But he'd let you beside the cold stir 'round his nose

            C             Am            G

He could organize a food morsel in seven years from now

       G                                    F
If you tell him it's for the hard liquor of Mecca's sacred cow

          C                         G
And he'll probably unbutton what is left in half a fly

      Am                                   C

And the waiter says, "The calvary is nice"

    A                           Em
His life is celebration and his habits very rare

         G                                F
Both his eyes were made by Disney and the sex of his boardroom chair

   C                                G
Is determined by the comics that he read the night before

      A                               C
So be sure to take a candle and be prepared to lock the door

And race him to the poster stuck on Eden's phallic tree

        C                                   Am            G
Where a face that you might know stares out across a bloody ground

        Am                                  C
And the caption reads, "A false beard and a raincoat have been found"
