Looters Follies

         C                E
You can huff and you can puff
            Am
But you'll never destroy that stuff
               Dm        G
Finally, I see why, I suppose
          Dm
Kid, you better change your feathers
                              F    
Cause you'll never fly with 
    C      F
those... things
                  C      F
In 'These Nights,'  the boys sing
            C
"Hello, emptiness
    F
I heard you're alright
       C
I've heard you're alright
       F
I've heard of you"

[Verse 2]
   C              E
A body aching, fragile, and pale
       Am
Dark valleys house its trail
                          F        
Why can't you see that a life in 
         G
art and a life of mimicry
                Dm     G
It's the same thing?!

[Verse 3]
     C         Am
The room was crowded
             C                     
And, though you couldn't care less 
  Am                     F
about it, that much was true
       G
That month
           F

Why did we stop fucking around you?
G
Girls like gazelles graze
F                         G      
Boys wearing bells blaze new 
       Dm    G
trails in sound

[Verse 4]
         C              G
I looked up, I looked around
    F                           
A famous Toronto painter shot me 
       Em
down
            Am                  
"Oh, I've busted my ass on these 
               D
streets too long," he said
       F                   G      
I set fire to the bed and tore his
   F
 gown

F                           
Felt some mercurial presence, 
   Em
hitherto unknown
           Dm                 
It was the sun, it was a stone 
    C
falling through blank space
              F                 
It was that jewel-encrusted roan 
    Em              Dm C
getting in my face

F                            
  Looked across the way to The 
     Em
Princess Rooms
        Dm
I saw brides and their grooms
              C
I heard the sound of bells ringing!
F     Em        
Ladadada, Ladadada, 
Dm         C          F

F                             
Cinders look back fondly upon a 
    Em
house on fire when across
    Dm
An ocean we go
    C                     F
We row and we row and we tire
F     Em        
Ladadada, Ladadada,

Ladadadadadadadadada

F                               
Now, step out of the darkness and 
   Em
into the light
             Dm                 
Yeah, it's common knowledge I've 
        C
been doing alright
       F
No, I can't complain
       Em                    Dm
On the East side, midwives' lives go
 down the drain
C                          F 
All cause our babies are dying, 
         Em
oh-oh-oh!
F     Em        
Ladadada, Ladadada,

F                       Em       
I lifted the veil to see nature's
         Dm
 trickery revealed as pure shit
       C                          
From which nothing ever rose cause
F                   Em
 nothing ever could
   Dm                           
I swear somewhere the truth lies 
    C             F Em
within this wood
   Dm                          
I swear, "Looters' Follies" has 
                    C  F Em
never sounded so good
     Dm             C      
And, win or lose, what's the 
       F      Em Dm C
difference?
F     Em
