Two Gallants - Reflections of the marionette

^F#mcall the dogs and sound the horns the c^Aity key of where i’s born has been s^Etolen by someone I thought I k^Bnew she ^F#mblew in with some angel dust from s^Aouthern state where love is lust and I h^Eope she’s gone by the time this song is^B through but ^Eout among the passers by she w^Bets her lips sweats her eyes ^C#mbaits her tongue with pity for her p^Brey ^Ashe transcends the avenue wh^Eile she smiles at me she winks to you I g^Buess I’ll take my place in yest^Aerday

^Aand darlin' I cant w^Eait for you to leave this to^Awn you just got here too l^Eate and no one wants you ??^B?round with one foot on my ^Aback and the other on the r^Eail I don’t want to see you^B fall I just want to see you^E fail

well the ^F#mnight is sweet the night’s divine it s^Atains your teeth with blood red wine and l^Eeaves you lying in your enemy’^Bs arms and w^F#mhile you mumble down the hall s^Aomething ‘bout a skin made wall you f^Eind you’re just a sucker for her ^Bcharms ‘cause the^E vanity that cakes her face^B sucks you into death’s embrace you ^C#mfeel your sense of self just fade ^Baway ^Asee you’re just a one man show and^E once you’re done its time to go ^Bhear some restless footsteps down the ^Away

^Aand darlin' I cant w^Eait for you to leave this to^Awn you just got here too l^Eate and no one wants you ??^B?round with one foot on my ^Aback and the other on the r^Eail I don’t want to see you^B fall I just want to see you^E fail

now the y^F#mouth protests the failing light with his s^Ahirt sleeves rolled in the humid night he w^Eonders where it was that he went w^Brong and ^F#min denial while he ascends to her l^Aofty room where all dreams end he ^Ewatches while his footsteps lead him ^Bon ^Ebut his turn comes the next in line the ^Bwell worn steps he slowly climbs to ^C#mfind her lying meat-hooks on disp^Blay and ^Ain the streets the sirens sing what w^Eord they tell what news they bring the ^Bpuppet in his cuffs of string o^Abeys

and darlin' I cant w^Eait for you to leave this to^Awn you just got here too l^Eate and no one wants you ??^B?round with one foot on my ^Aback and the other on the r^Eail I don’t want to see you^B fall I just want to see you^E fail I don’t want to see you^B fall I just want to see you^E fail
