[Verse 1]
DTonite on Keyhole street,
Dwhere tablet, spoon & needle meet
Painfully dangerous Gfallen angels
will swoon over crooners with Dpowdery eyes
DOn Ellington Square, they're dying their hair
Dand they're finger painting on their criminal stares
They'll have to Gstruggle to tell,
paradise from hell withoDut me tonight
[Chorus]
And, I Adon't understand - No, I Bmdon't understand A G
What itA means to be a married man, I don't underDstand
[Verse 2]
DA summer ago after years of gathering mold
She stowed her ripped up slips & her Gjet black lipstick
away and let her strawberry Dblonde roots grow
DNow it's hard to believe, we were the King & the Queen
Dof the fiends in the leather and mascara scene
and Gtrampiest pair of vampire magazine Dpin-ups
Don dance hall row
[Chorus]
And, I Adon't understand - No, I Bmdon't understand A G
What itA means to be a married man, I don't underDstand
[Bridge]
In the Bmwarm morning Glight
the uDndead all someday aArise
and if the sBmunlight don't strike them Gblind
they'll wind up in lDimbo condemned to surAvive
I don't underBmstand,A G I don't underDstand
[Repeat Intro]
G D G A D
[Verse 3]
DI remember a June, when each afternoon
Dshe awakened me softly, with kisses and coffee
and satG naked on the edge of the bed,
smoking Marlboro Dreds til the rise of the moon
DBut I'm too numb now to dream, suspended between
Dthe handsome woman she's become
and the need for the Ghellcat she used to be
I don't see why they botDh can't be true
[Chorus]
And, I Adon't understand - No, I Bmdon't understand A G
What itA means to be a married man, I don't underDstand
[Bridge]
In the Bmwarm morning Glight
the uDndead all someday aArise
and if the sBmunlight don't strike them Gblind
they'll wind up in lDimbo condemned to surAvive
I don't underBmstand,A G I don't underDstand
[Verse 4]
DTonight on Keyhole street
Dwhere fabric, moonlight and heat all meet
awkwardly cruel little Gharlots will drool
over bar stool sex tools with DX's for eyes
DOn Ellington Square they're teasing their hair
Dand they're painting on their latex play wear
they'll have to Gbalance the peril
of paradise and hell withDout me tonight
[Final CHORUS]
And, I Adon't understand - No, I Bmdon't understand A G
I can Ahold her sweet face in my hands
I still don't Dunderstand
[Repeat Intro]
