_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
And [D] a sky [C] filled with [Am] victory [D] And monstrum movie [Am] scenery
[D] And spilled into the mezzanine A crushed [C] capsule _ [Am] hotel
[G] Between the Disney _ abattoir And the chemical _ _ refinery
I [C] knew I was in [Am] trouble But I thought I was in
[D] So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
you look around the [Am] panoramic [D] And you wonder where the [Am] hell you are
By [D] the KKK _ [Am] convention Are [D] us branded in the bar
They wear [G] hoods and _ [Gm] caroushotkas [G] They look at main streets of Montgomery
[Am]
But [D] they're helpless, [C] serious [Am] babies Because [D] they're nowhere on _ [Am] holiday
[D] Why do they _ care? _
Everyone else is just a low-on
With you [G] there'd be [D] no [G] one [D] With you I'd do it all _ alone
[G] _ Death wears a [D] pink tie _ Because he loves you more _
[F#] And we're only living this _ instant [C] _ _ But _ _ [D] _
a black [C] sandstorm [Am] beneath our feet
In [D] a warm [C] _ Sorrento [Am] sunrise [D] A [C] barefoot girl from Naples
A wild little [D] bar, [Em] a salon, or a high-ride With [G] a little dabbit, a cheerless theme song
Of a hundred cheap suggestions And [Am] a million false redemptions _
And [D] all those [C] eternal [D] questions Well, why do we care? _ _ _
_ _ Death wears a pink tie Because he loves you more
And we'll give a big _ kiss _ And a pose _ _ _
Death [G] wears a pink [D] _ [G] tie [D] Because he loves you _ more
[F#] And we're only living [Bm] this _ instant
_ [Am] _ So _ _ _ [D] they threw [Em] this super [Am] _
constellation [D] _ [C] All the way from Rimini
And feasted them on fish and chips From a newspaper _ _ [Am] facsimile
[G] Now dead Italian tourist [Am]
bodies [G] _ Live here at the Broadway _
Some people can't be [Am] told, you know _ [D] They'll have [C] to learn [D] the hard [Am] way
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Em] Holidays are [Am] dirt cheap In [D] the Costa del [Am] _ Malvinas
In the [D] _ Hotel _ [Am] Argentina Where they [D] can't hardly tell [Am] between us
But [D] Teresa is a waitress Though she is now known as Juanita
In a tangled bottle [Am] standard Of a [D] port of _ Margarita
She's the [G] _ sweetest and the suciest [Gm] And obvious and _ [Am] obvious
_ [D] She's the winter siren In a world of lace and _ [Am]
lingerie
[D] Why do we care _ _ if the world is a joke? _
We'll give it a big _ kiss And get a little _ close _
Death wears a pink _ tie Because he loves you more _ _
[F#m] And we're only living [B] this instant _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [D] _ Japanese got [Am] Jesus robots [D] And Valentinian _ [G] marches
For [D] all we know and [Am] all we care [D] They might as well be [Am] Martians
This [D] ache-filled pain on the palace gate Comes from the [C] teeth of pensioners
They're so [D] tired [C] of chic and protesting That [D] _ they're hardly mentioning
[G] While fountains still be ticking And the _ union's side of trading [Am] stance
[D] They'll hang the bullies and the louts And they'll help them [Am] down if they _
[D] Why do we _ _ _ care if the world is a joke? _ _
We'll give it a big _ kiss And get a little _ _ close
Death wears [G] a pink [D] _ tie Because he loves you more _
And [F#] we're only living [Bm] this instant
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
We [D] prayed until _ [Am] November [C] aired And the _ undertaker stares
Just saying take me to the barber bitches [Am] And please don't [Em] spare the [Am] horses
[C] While we've always had a dream of That brick barber in your [Am] purse
How you [D] loved [Em] him till you [Am] hated him And [D] made him [Em] cry for mercy
He said [C] don't ever mention [G] my name [Am]
I [G] talked of all the nights [Am] you cried
[D] We've always been like [Am] worlds apart [D] Now you're seeing two nightmares [Am] collide _ _
[D] Why do we care _ if _ the world is a joke? _ _
We'll give it a big [G] kiss [D] And get a little close _ _ _
Death wears a pink tie Because he loves you more _ _
