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

[Verse 1]
Naked on the toilet [Am]with
a toothbrush in his mouth,
When he suddenly acquired an
overwhelming sense of doubt.
Every [Dm]single piece of baggage he'd
[F]been hold[Dm]ing on his back,
Was [Am]beginning to dig dig dig in and
his back began began to crack.
And when he finally broke up,
he found that he'd been breaking down.
Little body, little soul,
little shrapnel on the ground
[D]So [Am]he started [Dm]to examine
from the [F]clumsy to the cute,
From [Am]the fat, fat cat to the destitute
From the chat, fat cat to the mute

[Verse 2]
Oh earthly [Em]pleasure ring [D]out
From the [G]rigors of this [C]road
Earthly [Em]pleasure ring [D]out
From the [G]caverns of my [C]soul

[Verse 3]
Then sud[Am]denly he found
themselves in 1822
And he was in another body,
in a heavy sort of suit
He was sur[G]roun[Dm]ded but he'd started
making plans to make a run
[Am]When they called to him,
son, cock your gun
And so he did as all the
others had already done
He put his finger on the trigger
and he gave 'em some
And though he don't [Dm]like [F]to admit it,
it was sensual and pure
And [Am]he changed that day
though he can't be sure
If it's the sick[Adim]ness or the cure.
[Am]Oh earthly

[Verse 4]
[Em]pleasure [Am]ring [D]out
From the [G]rigors of this [C]road
Earthly [Em]pleasure ring [Am]out[D]
From the cav[G]erns of my [C]soul

[Verse 5]
So [Am]there he was in front of
her divine simplicity
And she was speaking Esperanto
and drinking ginger tea
As she inquired [F]about the reason
[Dm]for his visit here today
Well he just [Am]said, no reason,
and I really shouldn't stay.
And so he thought that she would [A]think
that [Am]he was some kind of freak
And that he'd go back to the [A]grind,
an[D]d that he would[Am]n't last [D]a week
But she did[Am]n't,
[F]she just sighed and added softly with a smile
[Am]Sit down dear child,
what's on your mind?
And so he frantically described to her,
the kingdom at her feet
As she continued with her manicure
and [Em]poured another [Am]tea
As he recounted [F]tales of misery
and suffering and pain
She [Am]was yawning at the ceiling,
so we had to up his game
The only thing your children cherish
is to move up the ranks
[Em]Luci[Am]fer is in our courts,
Beelze[Em]bub is in our banks
And if you don't co[Am]operate [C]with us,
we'll hang you [Am]'til you're dead
So [F]she gran[Am]ted him a wish,
and let him write it on her head
And when he [C]read it back [Am]to her,
this is all [Em]it said

[Verse 6]
Earthly [Em]pleasure ring [D]out
From the [G]rigors of this [C]road
Earthly [Em]pleasure ring [D]out
From the cav[G]erns of my [C]soul

[Verse 7]
Now I [Em]truly under[D]stand
But I don't un[G]derstand a thing
[C]So let this ear[Em]thly ple[D]asure sin[C]g
