_ _ _ Seven blonde women, they gather in a square.
They raise their hands up to the sun.
This skin is so thin and white, you know that daddy's much surer to be wealthy.
I watch the air descend around her from the crucifix, a circling vapor of some stray birds
_ rise.
The one on the end of the line went on the side, she pulled me aside, she called me over,
she said to me, she said, _ you know I have to make it all look different.
It seems that every time I lay down on it, that it's like a snake in water.
_ And when I look out [G] of it, then it's like the one from last week was breathing again.
She said that she had some white light, you know she said that she had some more fame,
but she didn't have no _ gimmicks, so she just took this razor _ and she laid it on a white vein.
_ And then she took a black orchid and she just ripped apart that flower.
_ _ And then she took the white light, then she said, hey later for the more fame, she took
the razor and split open a white vein.
_ She split open a white vein. _
She put the flower through the slit vein, she put the white light through the red stem,
she _ _ _ _ just _ _ _ poured it through the red stem.
Then I was talking with my angel, _ _ I was talking with my angel then, I was underneath the staircase, _
[F] _ [D] I was talking with my angel.
_ He said that beauty is only _ cherished, [F] you [D] know cherished its beginning.
[F] _ I was going up there to [Dm] the first steps, you know the rain, she was coming.
_ _ She's been feeling real sick lately, _ _ [D] she's been shutting down her habits.
[F] _ So [Dm] I went around to see her, [D] I had the angel in my [F] pocket, _ she [D] had jewels between her [Dm]
fingers,
[D] and there was a lot of girls in trouble.
[F] _ _ [D] I know that she's feeling [F] better, I [D] saw her walking down [F] to market, [G] she was down in this
short black hole, she wants to die just to save her soul, but she wants to live, she
wants to start her band, she swears to stay, it's called lip [D]-paint.
I'm sitting in the cellar [D] now, _ beneath my dark apartment, _ [Dm] _ I have the angel on my shoulder.
_ You know his wings had kind of shattered.
_ [D] He played the broken mirror, _ [F] and [D] he said that he just saw Sally, [Dm] _ and that Sally's with the
rain, _ [F] and [D] they were playing in the alley. _
So I went around to see [F] them, _ [Dm] they were doing it together, _ and there was a little blood
on the concrete.
_ [F] I [D] know they were [A] feeling [G] _ better, they got straight, they don't understand, they want
to die, but now they got plans, they want to live, they want to start their band, they
swear to stay, it's called lip [D]-paint. _ _ _
_ [C#] _ The rain. _
[A] The [F] _ _ [Dm] rain. _ _ _

_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [D] waiting in the lobby [Dm] now, _ said the angel, dropped his mirror, _ but [D] he still insists that
beauty, [Dm] that beauty is just one part of terror.
There's [D] a painting on the ceiling _ [F] _ of dark-ass like _ groupies, _ [D] and Jim Bacon took this, remember,
_ [D] _ like the rain got the [F] mood [D] swings.
So I ran around the back [Dm] aisle, _ [D] little blood across the [F] wall, see, _ [D] and when she reached
out to [B] touch me, [D] I thought that [Am] that was so [D] sweet, so I stung with [Am] my finger, [E] _ [G] it was like
[Dm] a knife in leather.
_ She had a [D] song along her eyelid, I know that bitch was [Dm] feeling better.
[G] She got straight, she don't understand, she want to die, but now she got plans, she want
to live, she want to start her band, she swear to [E] stay, it's [D] called lip-paint. _ _ _
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ The [C] rain.
