Lazy Flies

[Verse 1]
C G  A     E    F        C
lazy flies all hovering above
       G   A    E    F     
the magistrate, he puts on his 
     C
gloves
        D7            G        F 
and he looks to the clouds all 
           C
pink and disheveled
       B7             C           
there must be some blueprints, 
  G            F#
some creed of the devil
    F             C
inscribed in our minds

[Chorus 1]
  Am       D   F           Am
a hideous game vanishes in thin air
              D      F            
the vanity of slaves who wants to be
Am
 there?
    E           F            
to sweep the debris to harness 
        C
dead-horses
Continues after the ad
   D           G     F    
to ride in the sun a life of 
      C
confessions
E               F    G#
written in the dust

[Verse 2]
C     G     A     E      F    
out in the mangroves the mynah
        C
 birds cry
               G   A    E  
in the shadows of sulphur the 
   F              C
trawlers drift by
        D7            G       
they're chewing dried meat in a 
  F            C
house of disrepute
B7          C           G        
the dust of opiates and syphilis 
F#
patients
   F           C
on brochure vacations

[Chorus2]
Am         D          F         
fear has a glare that traps you 
     Am
like searchlights
             D           F        
the puritans stare their souls are
     Am
 fluoresecent
    E         F                   
the skin of a robot vibrates with 
C
pleasure
D           G         F          
matrons and gigolos carouse in the 
  C
parlor
      E            F              
their hand-grenade eyes invalid 
  G#
and blind

[Chorus 3]
  Am       D   F           Am
a hideous game vanishes in thin air
              D      F            
the vanity of slaves who wants to be
Am
 there?
    E           F            
to sweep the debris to harness 
        C
dead-horses
   D           G     F    
to ride in the sun a life of 
      C
confessions
E               F    G#
