Am
Dear sir dear lady
      G           Em
This carnival is dead and gone
Am                         G     
And never anyway alas this party 
     Bm     Am
never yet began

The chairs and tables dust of dust
G                Em      Am
Yes verydust of veryrust of verymust
 and farewelltrust
   G                  Bm        
I thought I saw you in the crowd 
Am
dear heart
                              G    
You turned away from me and then 
             Em
you dissolved into light
     Am                Bm
The broken lights and faded buntings
G                          Fmaj7
Call to us all the inmost light
And don't glare wide your eyes in 
 G
wonder
      Em              Fmaj7
They will flick back inside your 
mind
                       G
And on the bonescreen of your skull
      Bm       Am
They watch no musical salutes
               G         Em   Am
So thoroughly modern now we are

But the last reel of all time
G                Am
The inmost night

Its frames are glared and slow and 
out of focus
G            Em            Am
Valentino Vallee Moss all dead!

The inmost night
          G         Bm    Am
And the little bells go tinkle

And your eyes begin to twinkle
         G                 Em
And the joints and sinews crack
Am                            
It's the expansion of your mind 
    G
death
Death
Death
Death

Fmaj7       Am
The inmost night
     G          Em             
The cat's face glares from shiny 
   Am
card

The deadcat from my past
      G         Bm        Am
You tumble you froth and fun forever
   Fmaj7          Am
An orchestra from another time
G              Em
Another world all dead
      Am                  
The churchbells silent the 
                    G              
rainstained glass of God is smashed
  Bm Am


And you take your choice you sup 
with the devil
     G                  Em
You choke on your pride for ever and
 ever
    Fmaj7                      
My memory of my inmost light it 
   G               Bm   Am
tumbles froth and fun forever
Vulvaic memories imagined of my 
   G
would-be-life
      Em
Well that won't be
     Am
And that won't be

And that won't be
G         Bm
And that won't be
Fmaj7
And for my troubles and my pain
G                  Em
And for the losses and the wains
   Am
I get a picture in my mind
     G         Bm  Am
The slyly smily smiling kiss
              G
Of your sweet heart and face
Em                        
And your legs in some final 
  Am
benediction
                            G
Your inmost warmheart says ta-ra
          Bm    Am
And I wished to die inside of you
                      G       
And push up into your heart so 
  Em
violently that
Am                                 G
Face to face with matrix creatrix am
               Bm Am
The inmost light
