Jingle jangle the cosmos are on fire
N.C.
The blazing lines of the criminal 
choir
N.C.
Rejoiced to be alive
N.C.
Broken and depraved
N.C.
Sullied mop and rusted pail
             A                     
Centuries of poison to escape this 
          Bm
heaven or hell
                  C#m            
This earthly cell of dead flowers 
     D
and so many wounded foes
N.C.
It's hard to remember fantasy or 
horror
N.C
Unwanted caresses

Little Lolitas who want to be held 
in large hands

Dear Father, who art in heaven
N.C.
Hollow be thy name
       A                           
Witches confused by their own magic

Angels lyrics
Bm                     F#
Female creature wilted high in the 
raftors
D                  A
Orgies of dust and butterfly 
laughter

Shadows spilling into the babe's 
   F#
milk
                           D
Starry eyes of ghost's memoir
               A
Four blue plus two, that makes six
Continues after the ad
Bm
That's twelve times two
 F#
Two brown eyes, one green
D
Hazel's asleep in the hayloft
A                             Bm
Down the road drowning in dry grass
                            F#
In the sweet maiden's lap poisened 
with nightshade
        D
Witches last laugh

[Chorus]
            A
Stick your thumb out
             Bm
Lift up your skirt
                          F#
Someone's gonna stop here soon
D                       A
Take down your hair and wind up your
 grin

D
Even though red's not your color
A
I'll dress you in feathers
   Bm
And fly you in the windy weather
       F#                       
Like a child bird marooned on an 
 D
island of cats
A
Little dewy brawling cats
     Bm
With cross-eyes and hats
     F#
They take mercy on you
     D
They take you for walks
     A                         Bm
The mercy choir singing dismal hymns
 watery bible rhymes
     F#
All jumbled a mess
D                            A   
A mess of bright graves and 
                Bm  F#
flowers and balloons

[Chorus]  (Play twice)
D                        A
Stick out your thumb and lift up 
your skirt

Someone's bound to stop here soon

Take down your hair and wind up your
 grin
Bm                       F#
Someone's gonna take you home

[Verse]
       D
With a knapsack of trinkets
    A
I'm off to seek my fortune again
Bm
Chasing ghosts of dead orphans
F#
Friend, cousin, or kin
   D
We wave to the passer by
A
Moth wings of a butterfly
 Bm
Endless tracks where no car pass
 F#
Close your eyes and you can fly
    D
I'm off to meet my soul mate
   A
A naked fawny jailbait
Bm
Wading into ponds
           F#
Filled with pollywogs at dawn
 D
Mournin' the light
      A
That slipped from my eyes
  Bm
A little child with dirty nails
F#
And dirty hair
      D                            
I had dirty things scrawled upon my
 A    Bm  F#
 mind
