Altar Boy chords and lyrics - RICKIE LEE JONES

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]A monk with a hard on
in a lavender robe
That [Dm]scratches [Am]his thighs for
the [Em]height [E]that he strode
As he [Am]follows a path filled
with harried desire
And [Dm]mimic[E]s h[Am]is foots[E]teps
[Am]and sets[E] his prayers on fi[Am]re
Glad to have chosen
that which left no choice
To [Dm]sing without loving in a
[Am]sol it[Bdim]ary voic[E]e
To [Am]observe with passion
each careful denial
The pro[Dm]trusions which give [F]my life [Bdim]meaning
[E]for a w[Am]hile

[Verse 2]
[Asus4][Am]
Sometimes I see you eating ber
[Dm]ries and weeds
[Am]You're brush[C]ing your teeth
[F]with licorice seeds
Standing too close,
[Bb]holding your clothes
[E]Smiling at God, the meaning of life [Am]grows
No, no I'll never tell and I'll
never know
[Dm]What candles [Am]you light af[Bdim]ter the show
[E]And I'll nev[Am]er tell and I'll never ask
The [Dm]meaning of [E]life [Dm]afte[E]r mass[Am]

[Outro 1]
