the city
[Verse 1]
(G*)
Pa arrives in the city of the closed doors
G*
Greeted by miners from Asturias
G*
His limousine streaks past giant shiny moneyboxes
G*
Huddled together fo---r warmth
C* C* C* C*
He is deposited in his inner chambe---r
[Verse 2]
G* G*
Later, Pa meets the bear, impersonates a tree
G*
To confuse the hell's gates dogs' sense of smell
G*
And rests for chess with no-o---ne
C*
Then (amongst the closed doors) he shrinks
C*
Is dwarfed by rabbits, expands again
C* C*
To invade the destiny of fourteen mysterious others
G*
Strangely clad, - captured by a camera
G*
Carefully arranged, with a space for his image
G* G*
A plot hatched by fate
[Verse 3]
C*
Pa looks for diversion in the written wo-rd
C* C*
Meanwhile, the mundane world seeks solace in illusion
C*
An imprisoned rainbow gives shelter to the homeless
G*
A painted machine registers the weight of mystery
G*
And for background interest a kilometre of women queue
G*
To kiss a wooden foot, patiently
G*
The Queen had been
C*
But no information, in the city of the closed doors
C* C* C*
On Christian Spain
[Verse 4]
G*
Elsewhere, bare buttocks wait their turn
G* G*
In vain. No guides available. All busy in the Prado
G*
Followed by shuffling feet. Fascinated. Perhaps
C*
Outside again in the mundane world
C*
In the city of the closed doors
C*
Living men impersonate sleeping saints
C*
On sundry raised surfaces, (like benches)
G*
Art objects seat beadless (beneath coats)
G* G*
Performance artists simulate poverty a---nd beg
G*
A day's begging pays for the entrance fee
C*
To the Cinema of Terror. A golden gas mask
C*
Throw the torturers off the trail, amongst
C* C*
The grazed walls of the city of the closed do---ors
[Verse 5]
G*
Pa escapes
G*
Samples the delights of raw fish, good wine
G*
Closes the door of his inner chamber
G* C* C* C* C*
Closes the door of his inner chamber, and sle-----------------eps
