Dm There's a churning there's a churning there's a churning around A I can't fall asleep and the drugs won't stay down
There's a burning, there's a burning, there's a burning I found Dm It's cheap in the pit where the blood pumps around
Gm Dm All the children are laughing outside A Dm The works never sleeps and there's nowhere to hide Gm Dm It's under control far as anyone's seen A But there ain't enough shit to climb out of the tree
There's a witness, there's a witness, there's a witness out there We've got to pretend that the money's still here There's a knocking, there's a knocking, there's a knock at the door We'll tell them that uncle don't live here no more
All the angels are crying downstairs The brandy's run out, but their god never cares He'll slap them and tell them the evening's ben ruined And his robes reek of failure and cheap rags perfume (?)
There's a tinkering there's a tinkering there's a tinkerer in town She'll fix everything till the money's been found There's a watchman, there's a watchman, and he's guarding the door With a drink in his hand and a gun on the floor
And the monsters broke in through the sewers again And they spend every night making ever more friends They've conquered the bowels of Paris and now They have every intention of taking the town
OOOOooooh aaaaaaAAAAAAA part (Fairly straightforward, listen to song to hear how it goes) Ladadadadadadampaa ladadadadadadum
There's a bottle, there's a bottle in my bed It helps me to reach for the switch in my head There's a madness, there's a madness at bay But a cold wind will blow down the levee some day
A train whistle blows, the conductor's been hanged In a white little house, or a telephone rang And it's under control far as anyone's seen But there ain't enough shit to climb out of the tree
