Billie and my friend the saint
A#m
You're perfect in so many ways
D#mB
But you never looked hard at a fetus in a jar
G#
You never saw your mama change
F#
And this wonderland of spite
A#m
Does not shine into your night
D#mB
Like widows are seen as stigmatized beings
G#C#
Who ought to have a second chance
A#mD#mB
And hurricanes spin like debutantes in a trance
[Chorus]
B
Sue the fortune-teller
B
Rue the rising tide
E
General Washington

Patented that skull, throw him out

Ship that hollandaise
A#m
Feel the heart fell of touche
D#mB
See the longer you tease, the stronger the needs

The highs and the fruit are long
F#
Up to the one a kid
A#m
Call the bluff when the money's in
D#mBG#C#
You're a hungry matron and you are just what I need
A#mD#mB
I was tired of the best years of my life
