Intro: [Am]
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
The stories of the street are mine, the Spanish voices laugh.
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
The Cadillacs go creeping now through the night and the poison gas,
[Am] [F] [G] [F#] [B]
and I lean from my window sill in this old hotel I chose,
[E] [A] [E] [D] [A] [Am]
yes one hand on my suicide, one hand on the rose.
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
I know you've heard it's over now and war must surely come,
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
the cities they are broke in half and the middle men are gone.
[Am] [F] [G] [F#] [B]
But let me ask you one more time, O children of the dusk,
[E] [A] [E] [D] [A] [Am]
All these hunters who are shrieking now oh do they speak for us?
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
And where do all these highways go, now that we are free?
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
Why are the armies marching still that were coming home to me?
[Am] [F] [G] [F#] [B]
O lady with your legs so fine O stranger at your wheel,
[E] [A] [E] [D] [A] [Am]
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
The age of lust is giving birth, and both the parents ask
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
the nurse to tell them fairy tales on both sides of the glass.
[Am] [F] [G] [F#] [B]
And now the infant with his cord is hauled in like a kite,
[E] [A] [E] [D] [A] [Am]
and one eye filled with blueprints, one eye filled with night.
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
O come with me my little one, we will find that farm
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
and grow us grass and apples there and keep all the animals warm.
[Am] [F] [G] [F#] [B]
And if by chance I wake at night and I ask you who I am,
[E] [A] [E] [D] [A] [Am]
O take me to the slaughterhouse, I will wait there with the lamb.
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
With one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl
[Am] [C] [Em] [Bm]
I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world.
[Am] [F] [G] [F#] [B]
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky,
[E] [A] [E] [D] [A] [Am]
and lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye.
