Arms Of Cicero
View chords used in this chart
(The whole song is pretty much Am C F C)
Intro: Am C F C
Am C F C
Free from the itch of her sexual desire
Am C F C
I believed in the things that happened to me
Am C F C
So she mastered the art of treating decay
Am C F C
To the babbling madmen with nothing to say
Am C F C
So I'm lower-class tooth and she's iron fisted
Am C F
I'm gunning for her money in the arms of my Cicero
Am C F C Am C
Give us your guns and we'll give you nirvana nanana nanana
F C
Walk away
(And so on)
Barbers and scullions and charioteers
Are the constant delight of these tooth racketeers
They live in the wake of a pretty young gigolo
Who lives in the arms of this Cicero
She's bully with his eyes and a lover's secret
I smile all the time just like an exile in Mantua
So give us your guns and we'll give you nirvana
Walk away
I'm king of the cafe cone
Chabanas is a sphynx who sells poison and guns
Not for holy reasons
Give us your guns and we'll give you nirvana
Walk away
(That's all, enjoy!)
