Ok Heironymous - Lyrics by Graham Parker


Lyrics

pre>g c
I break a heart in a thousand places, she makes a slur against other races
G c d
He rejects all of the unpretty faces, sticks them full of knives
G c
I take a shot at birds flying south, he takes the gun barrel into his mouth
G c d
She takes a rope and ties up the house, with the kids inside
G c
They just want to curl right up and die
G am d
Them and us are only passing by
G c d em
Hey hieronymous i know where your garden grows
F c d
I know where your bloody roses bloom
G c d em
Hey hieronymous tell me what delights there are
F c d
Right outside this window or inside this room
G c
Just taste the odor of burning skin, the pitchfork tongues and the rot within
G c d
The torture victim's wiped-out grin nothing can erase
G c
Somebody's pouring salt on a wound, scooping out monkey's brains with a spoon
G c d
Working on warfare up on the moon, that's the latest phase
G c
We just want to curl right up and die
G am d
You and me are only passing by (chorus)(guitar solo)
G c
Germans and turks and english nerks spew out of doorways going beserk
G c d
Inside of everyone someone lurks, they don't even know
G
Bring them all in, yeah, they're welcome here
C
You can't sell your work? then cut off your ear
G c d
Put it right on the table there, all tied up in bows

(chorus) (repeat chorus) (outro same as verse) /pre>
