[Verse 1]
I'll make you [Dm]a deal
Like any other [Am]candidate
With [G]the tale walking home
Cause your future's at stake
My [Dm]cities amaze you
And even [Am]smells like the street
There's [G]a bar down at the end
Where I can meet you and your friends
So I [Dm]scrawled on the walls
In [Am]the blood of the tree- cutters
[G]Rolled up scandals and
Other boys
And having [Dm]so much fun with
the [Am]poisonous peoples
Spread[G]ing rumors and lies,
and stories they made up.
[Dm]Some make you sing
And [Am]some make you scream
[G]And some make you wish
That you'd never been seen...
There's [Dm]a shop on the corner that's
selling [A]papier [Am]mache
Making [G]bullet- proof faces,
join and dance with Casius
Clay
And if you [Dm]want it,
[Am]Boy,
Get it here [G]babe!

[Verse 2]
So you [Dm]scream out a lie:
"I [Am]want you! I need you!
[G]Anyone out there? Anytime?"
You said: [Dm]"kiss me, I'm the one"
I said: "Daddy,
[Am]I want you when it's
[G]Good it's really good,
and when it's bad I'm not abusive"
And if you [Dm]want it, [Am]boy,
Get it [G]here babe!
So on [Dm]the street where you live
I put [A]the hole on my hand
Before I [G]put all I had into another man
On the leather [Dm]floor, in [A]the back of [Dm]a car[Am]
In [G]the center like a church
with the door ajar
Well I [Dm]guess we must be
looking for a [A]different kind
But we [G]can't stop trying to
make up our minds
When [Dm]the sun drips down
on [A]the city [Am]at night
[G]Flashin on the ground
and kicking in fright
[Dm]I guess we could cruise
down [Am]one more time
With [G]you by my side it should be fine
We'll [Dm]buy some drugs and
[Am]watch a band
[G]And jump in the river

[Outro 1]
holding hands
