[Verse 1]
You can hCuff and you can pEuff
But you'll nAmever destroy that stuff
Finally, I see Dmwhy, I supGpose
Kid, you bDmetter change your feathers
Cause you'll never fly with thFose... thCings F
In 'These Nights,'C the bFoys sing
"Hello, emptCiness
I heFard you're alright
I've heCard you're alright
I've heFard of you"
[Verse 2]
A bCody aching, fraEgile, and pale
Dark vaAmlleys house its trail
Why can't you see that a lFife in art and a lGife of mimicry
It's the same thDming?! G

[Verse 3]
The rCoom was crAmowded
And, though yCou couldn't care less abAmout it, that much was tFrue
That moGnth
Another verFsion of this miniature RomeG to set fire to
FWhy did we stop fucking around you?
GGirls like gazelles graze
FBoys wearing bells blaze nGew trails in sDmound G

[Verse 4]
I looked Cup, I looked arGound
A faFmous Toronto painter shot me down Em
"Oh, I've buAmsted my ass on these streets too loDng," he said
I set fFire to the bed and tGore his goFwn

FLadadaEmda, LadadaDmda, LadadadCadadadadadaFda
FFelt some mercurial presence, hEmitherto unknown
It was the Dmsun, it was a stone falCling through blank space
It was that jeFwel-encrusted roan getEmting in my face Dm C
F Looked across the way to The PriEmncess Rooms
I saw brDmides and their grooms
I heard the soCund of bells ringing!
FLadadaEmda, LadadaDmda, LadadadCadadadadadaFda
FCinders look back fondly upon a hoEmuse on fire when across
An oDmcean we go
We rCow and we row and we tFire
FLadadaEmda, LadadaDmda, LadadadCadadadadadaFda
FNow, step out of the darkness and iEmnto the light
Yeah, it's coDmmmon knowledge I've been doCing alright
No, I cFan't complain
On the EmEast side, midwives' lDmives go down the drain
CAll cause our babies are dyFing, oh-oh-Emoh!
FLadadaEmda, LadadaDmda, LadadadCadadadadadaFda
FLadadaEmda, LadadaDmda, LadadadCadadadadadaFda
FI lifted the veil to seeEm nature's trickeryDm revealed as pure shit
From whCich nothing ever rose causeF nothing ever could Em
I sDmwear somewhere the truth lies witChin this wood F Em
I sDmwear, "Looters' Follies" has never sounded so goCod F Em
And, Dmwin or lose, whCat's the diffeFrence? Em Dm C
FLadadaEmda, LadadaDmda, LadadadCadadadadadaFda
FLadadaEmda, LadadaDmda, LadadadCadadadadadaFda
FLadadaEmda, LadadaDmda, LadadadCadadadadadaFda
FLadadaEmda, LadadaDmda, LadadadCadadadadadaFda
