You Will Never Take Me Alive

A

A
Let's hear it for circuits
A
lines drawn in the earth
A
cut to scramble for ample
                               D
little mouse hole to park your new 
car
                 A
and chew off our arms
A
with teeth we are losing from slow, 
comfy screwings
A
three cheers for the backseats
you legs pinned that look in your 
D
eye
                     A
you'll never take me alive

        E
this is what you are
                 A
you are what you are
A
let's hear it for mirrors
A
with the ghost image clearer
hip hip for the pig that religiously
             D
 belts you undone
                     A
this little piggy had none
A
'cause god hates our country
A
she told me she wants me to sing out
 "he's female!"
                                D
three cheers for the gal in the sky
                     A
you'll never take me alive

doomed?
       D                       
do you know what it means to be 
 E
cursed?
         A                         
when the blue eyes are washing 
  F#m
their mouths in the south
         D                     E
you know they're hiding bodies north

        A                      
did you know that we're sinking 
      F#m
knee-deep?
        D                          
did you nail down what you plan to 
E
keep?
         A

F#m
freight on your shore

    A
the caskets are coughing with 
quotable quoting
the graveyard is littered with loves
                          D
 who thought there was no doubt
                         A
the world could not live without

if i live through the day when the 
A
comet does come
       E                     D
i will write every one on my list 
one by one
C#
sharpen the axe
          A
stomp the flames out on backs
       E
i will be who you want me to be

do you know what it means to be 
 E
cursed?
         A                         
when the blue eyes are washing 
  F#m
their mouths in the south
         D                     E
you know they're hiding bodies north

        A                        
did you know that your boot heels 
     F#m
are stuck?
       D                           
losing feet worth the rabbit's good
 E
 luck
         A                    F#m
when the devil is resting his head 
on your door
        E
you are done for
