The Mall Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I don't rock the mic with
the pantyhose.
Why don't you do your part?
At the nuclear plant site lies a swamp
that glows at night.
And a mall is built by
developers.
A monster lies beneath
this razor's head with a
God of
Venom traverse through
the air.
Causing addiction, victims unaware.
But they gotta purchase,
they gotta buy.
There's a flame in the brain and
the skull will fry.
24 hours, the mall is open
Zombies with dough, the rest just
holdin'
the town closed down
There's a strippin' instead, sorta like
Vegas
for the livin' dead
The strip of sin surrounds the mall
I play in a band and I've seen it all
Whores and slaves and drugs and
crooks in
the shed with the mall
And everyone's hooked
The [Dm]drummer's alright, the
groove is lockin'
But the mall looms large,
his cymbals, he's
[C#m]hockin'[C][Dm][C#m][C]
[Dm]I like
comics and atomic games
Reckon I'm accredited,
it's cryin' [C#m]shame[C][Dm]
[C#]
[C]Been in [F]my apartment till
there ain't no air
Body pockets on the basement,
she just don't care
Now [G5]ain't no escape
from this town
There's a [E]guy at the border gonna
shut you [Am]down[C][Am]
[C]
[Am]Bonnet's sister waitress this night
Said the title house,
she seems alright
She says she's clean, but I suspect
If a week gone close,
she blows her check
Every night when the gig's complete
I hit the title house, grab somethin' to eat
I'm fallin' hard for
Bonnet's sister
Then one night she says, I missed you
We [Dm]start datin', they
know we're still usin'
We keep it in check, there ain't no
[C#m]abusin'[C][Dm][C#m]
[C]We don[Dm]'t move in together,
just exchange keys
Gettin' kinda heavy,
but it's okay with [Am]me[C][Dm][C#]
[C]Then one[F] night after practice with the band
I open up the door and I scream, oh man
She [G5]cleaned me out, but I didn't care
I cried [E]real hard cause I lost [Am]her[C][Am]
[C]
[Am]With all of my stuff I sort of felt light
If I could escape tonight was the night
I went by where she worked
to say no harm done
But some guys was beatin'
on her waiter so I just moved on
Stopped at the border, where
you tryin' to go?
I'm pickin' up my family in
San
Francisco
I went out to the highway, sky was black
I went about an hour,
then I turned back, yeah
Was a caller in the mall that
kept me on the boat
She keep me hoppin' with the
sharpenin'
You know I can't find her at all
Was a load of procure, the
channels now more
Was the buying that was trying, and nothing
but a loving insure
[C]Was [Am]the miles of the hours
that showcased the
stars
It was the bargain, but I spent nine for two
of [Am]five and I'm a sire
[C]Was the [Am]sheets of concrete
that swept me off
the beach
Was the honey where the money
couldn't see
it
For the shower re[Am]ceipts
With [Dm]some more, [Am]took[C] my baby away
[Am]With some [Dm]more, [Am]yeah[C],

[Outro 1]
took my baby away
[Am]
