Dm A7 Dm Aloysius was a bluegrass drummer, he was just a normal kid Dm A7 Dm Bloomin', trippin', flowin' under, just as I once did C G At a 24-hour restaurant, open 'til the end of time Dm A7 Dm He was washing dishes there when he met Brick Butterfly
[Verse]
Dm A7 Dm She was a no-wave singer for a country act working outta Region Ten Dm A7 Dm She was all strung out on hard street fat but he didn't know it then C First a look, then a spark, sound of Velcro in the dark G His heart is spinning like a bicycle wheel Dm A7 Dm She and he laid the stems down flat in the middle of a field

Dm A7 Dm Brick Butterfly had a history of sleeping with the kitchen staff Dm A7 Dm She was a hardcore gobbler and a longtime guzzler of hydrogenated crap C G Suet, tallow, liquid squeals, great mounds of plastic lard Dm A7 Dm That's what she got the lad to steal on the night that he got fired
[Verse]
Dm A7 Dm Aloysius woke at five a.m, the hungry girl was gone Dm A7 Dm There was blood in the bedding, forks in the ceiling, and bones all over the lawn C G Like any strong young poet would, he packed his bags for Region Ten Dm A7 Dm I guess now I know him less than I ever knew him then Dm A7 Dm Yes, I guess I know him even less than I ever knew him then
