Ok Heironymous Lyrics - Graham Parker

Pre>g c 

I break a heart in a thousand places, she makes a slur against other races 

G c d 

He rejects all of the unpretty faces, sticks them full of knives 

G c 

I take a shot at birds flying south, he takes the gun barrel into his mouth 

G c d 

She takes a rope and ties up the house, with the kids inside 

G c 

They just want to curl right up and die 

G am d 

Them and us are only passing by 

G c d em 

Hey hieronymous I know where your garden grows 

F c d 

I know where your bloody roses bloom 

G c d em 

Hey hieronymous tell me what delights there are 

F c d 

Right outside this window or inside this room 

G c 

Just taste the odor of burning skin, the pitchfork tongues and the rot within 

G c d 

The torture victim's wiped-out grin nothing can erase 

G c 

Somebody's pouring salt on a wound, scooping out monkey's brains with a spoon 

G c d 

Working on warfare up on the moon, that's the latest phase 

G c 

We just want to curl right up and die 

G am d 

You and me are only passing by (chorus)(guitar solo) 

G c 

Germans and turks and english nerks spew out of doorways going beserk 

G c d 

Inside of everyone someone lurks, they don't even know 

G 

Bring them all in, yeah, they're welcome here 

C 

You can't sell your work? then cut off your ear 

G c d 

Put it right on the table there, all tied up in bows
