[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
Well, it's [C]midnight in a liquor store
In [F]Texas on Halloween
[C]Salvador Dali watches
From [F]his window in a dream
[C]Jesus is a rock star
[F]who destroys all he sees
Godz[C]illa is a cowboy
Who is [F]dressed up as a queen
[G]

[Verse 2]
She isn't as de[F#m]pressed as
[Db]she used t[Db5]o be[C]
[G]Come on over [F#m]here, my dear

[Verse 3]
[Db]Well,[F][C][F][C]
[F]I
[C]hold my head real still
So I [F]can't see very far
[C]They got all these [F]Vietnamese
Heads stuffed into jars
[C]They got all these things
That make them [F]look like they're way in
[C]They use polythene plastics
On [F]their bods instead of skin

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 4]
If I [C]had someone [G]to talk [F]to
[Am]I wo[C]uldn't[Am] mind so muc[F]h[G]
But it [C]takes so long [G]to [F]get there
[Am]Can't re[C]member [Am]where I [F]was[G]
And I wouldn't mind to
[C]talk to [Am]you[G]
[C]Even if [Am]I co[C]uld[G][F][Am][C][Am][F]
[G]The ceiling is bendin' on
my telephone
[Abm]Everything's gettin' weird

[Outro 1]
And my skin falls from my bones

[C][F][C][F][Am][C][F][C][F][Am][C][F]
