Fifteen weeks since the light has

Fifteen weeks with the same shirt on

A thousand bodies stink and sweat
Cm
and somebody's trying to roll a 
cigarette

Cm                          
Just relax and enjoy it, it's 
          Eb
nothing really.
Cm                            
Let's get you out of these damp

You'll feel so much better 
             Eb
afterwards.
Cm                                
Just close your eyes and let it 
    Eb

Cm                                
Trickling down your back warm and 
    Eb
sticky.
Cm                                
Isn't that nice?
    Eb

Cm                                
No don't speak, just let yourself 
    Eb
go,
Cm                                
sink, sinking down deeper and 
    Eb
deeper and deeper.

At 3 o'clock that morning I awoke 
    Eb
in an unfamiliar room

in my hands like sodden paper
    Eb

Cm                                
a thick, glutinous pale green 
    Eb

sunlight through net curtains

Cm                                
6, 000 miles an hour into 
    Eb
brilliant white light.
Cm                         
There's a brass band playing 
           Eb
somewhere.
Cm                                
Roll on your back and wait for the
    Eb
 talbum.
Cm                                
But what's that?
    Eb

Cm                                
Pull back the linen sheets to find
    Eb
 the shirt
Cm                                
they peeled off your back only two
    Eb
 hours before
Cm

fields with the sky blue above me.
Cm                                
And to be clean again.

Cm                           
But I know I'll never be clean 
         Eb
again.
