_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I wandered lonely as a cloud, _ till I came upon this dirty street.
_ [G#] [D#m] I've never seen a stranger crowd.
_ Scrub up to girls on squeaky feet.
_ [C#] [D#m] Continually [C#] facing, with [D#m] nonchalant [C#] embracing.
Each [D#m] arrogance disgracing, I'm [F#] unfacingly moved to say,
Hey, hey! _
_ _ _ His skin's all covered in slimy lumps.
With lips that slide across each chin. _
[D#m] His twisted limbs like rubber stumps.
I waved in welcome, say, please join in.
[C#] My grip [D#m] must be thipping, cause [C#] his [D#m] handshake keeps sipping.
[C#] My throat's [G#m] keep on [D#] dipping, [Fm] and his lips [D#m] keep on [F#] smiling all the time.
_ _ [B] We love _ _ _ _ [E] to love.

_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] You're in the colony of slipper men. _
[Gm] There's no who, I'm all awake.
You [Fm] get tired if you've got to cry.
_ [A#] To see Dr.
Diver, it's all night, but here with all your [B] windscreen [Cm] wipers.
John and I are able, [Gm] to face the doctor both on the table.
[Fm] Say, you understand why, that's the end of your tale.
[A#] From delay, Dr.
Dick, a white-kissed condom [B] _
[C] diabetic. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ Sneaks us a number into a [D#] tube.
_ _ [Gm]
It's a [C] yellow plastic, _ [Em] shooby-doo.
_ _ _ [C] So know your big listening tickle.
_ You'll be safe in our pickle. _
_ Suddenly, a black cloud come down [Em] from the sky.
_ _ _ [C] It's a super-sized black bird that's sharp and fast.

_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ The raven brings on darkness the [D#] night. _ _ _
[C] He finds right that _ [Em] gives me one night.
_ _ _ _ [C]
He takes the tube right out of the vent.
[F#] Man, I [A] gotta find [C] where _ [F#] I put it.
John, I got [F#] to run.
_ I need you now, you're going to come.
_ [D#m]
He says to me, now can't you see?
With the raven flies, there's jeopardy.
[F#] We've been [C#] good on [D#m] the [C#] couch, now you're sick with [D#m] your [C#] grouch.
I'll not [D#m] risk my honey pouch, [Fm] lose my [G#] souch.
But where's Don [F#] Murillo?
_ _ _ _ [B] He walks away and leaves me once again.
_ [E] Even though I never learn, [Bm] I hope he showed you some [E] concern. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] Some concern.
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ Some _ [C] concern.
In _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [Cm] the agony, you slip away.
[Gm] I pray my heart will sustain. _
_ [Fm] Chains are, _ _ _ [A#] but I'm running so very hot with every.
_ [F] _ [Cm] _
He leads me down, I'm on the bus.
_ [Gm] Going down roads, he still flies very [Fm] fast.
When the tunnel stops,
_ [A#] Inside I let you, just as it drops.
[Cm] _ I'm on [G] top of a bank, too steep to [Bm] climb.
I see it hit the [C#] water, [B] just in [F#] time.
[E]
[G#] You're [F#] watching it float [E] away.
[F#] Watching it float [E] away.
[G#m]
[F#] Watching it float [E] away.
[G#] _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ [F#] _
[E] Egg, [G#m] _ [F#] make, [E] _ [F#] _ [E] make, [G#] _ [F#] [E] snake, [F#m] move away.
