[Intro 1]
[Am][D][G][Am]
[D][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]With their cardboard [G]hands by their sides,
[Am]
Here`s a naked man [D]and [Am]lady
And they`re yours to cut out
[G]and keep[Am]
So you can dress them up
[D]maybe[Am][D][G][Am]
They don`t know just who they are,
or who they`re sup[D]posed [Am]to be
You can make them happy or sad
Or assume their iden[D]tity[G][Am]
[D][Am][D][Am]
[G][Am]

[Verse 2]
[D]
[Am]So here they are in the
[G]departure loun[Am]ge
It`s the "Gateway [D]to [Am]the East"
She is just an[G]other mail- order bride
[Am]She doesn't know he`s a
[D]kinky [Am]beast
So he gives her a [G]picture of
[Am]Maradona and child
She wants to [D]"roll and rock"
[Am]As he spills his beer over her,
bumps and he
Grinds, as he repeats
"Bangkok"
[Chorus:] There must be something that

[Verse 3]
is better [Am]than this
It starts with [D]a slap and ends up with a kiss
[Am]Begins with you bawling
and it ends up in tears
Oh my little one, take [E]that chewing gum
out of your [Am]ears
[G][Am][D][Am]

[Verse 4]
She might as well [G]be in the [Am]jungle
She might as well [D]be on
[Am]the moon
He`s away on a [G]business trip, [Am]in Dusseldorf,
but she`s be[D]coming immune
[Am]To the lack of glamor and danger
in a West- German [D]city today
The [Am]nearest she comes to the
[G]"Dynasty" he [Am]promised her
Is a Chinese [D]takeaway

[Interlude 1]
[Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][E]
[Am]
[G][Am][G][Am]
[G][Am][D][Am][G][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Am][Chorus]
Though he only [G]taught her three little words,
[Am]it
Doesn't matter if they`re
[D]dirty or clean
[Am]He can only control [G]what they look like
[Am]He can never possess w[D]hat
they [Am]mean[D][Am]
Now he wants to [G]whisper in her [Am]ear
All the shrinking [D]nothingness
[Am]But something always comes[G]
between [Am]them,
I wonder if you can [G]guess

[Outro 1]
[Chorus]
[Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D]
[Em][E]
[D][G][Am][D][G][Am][D][Am]
