The chords on the recording are played using a sound called “Fat Fifth”,
which adds the fifth to every note played, thus creating densely layered
chords which are difficult to reproduce on a guitar. I think what I’ve got
here is pretty close, but it is just a suggestion, of course.

Adolescence - what's it like?
It's a psychedelic motorbike
You'll smash it up ten times a day
Then you walk away

It's moonlight on a balcony
It's pure hormonal agony
Bad poetry. Its greeting card?

Adolescence - why's it so?
Ask someone else; how should I know?

Unable to forget some Juliet

Romeo (Romeo) - inconstant? Never!
It's knives flashing in fountains, poison

The Devil came a-calling, we took a midnight stroll

For fifty years I'll spoil you, like the only man alive
With power, wealth, a mansion on Fellatio Drive

[Verse 1]
The old magician takes the stage
His act does not improve with age
Observe the shabby hat and gloves
The tired act that no-one loves
There was a time he produced doves
[Verse 2]
A mirror and a puff of smoke
His mysteries are now a joke
His poor assistant black and blue
She's tired of being sawn in two
She's tired of being sawn in two
[Verse 3]
D Gmaj7
Hidden trapdoor, velvet cape
A D Dmaj7
Still from death there's no escape
Em7 A
Words of sympathy and tact
Em7 A Bm Bm/A
Only underline the fact
Death is a lousy disappearing act

D Gmaj7
Lord have mercy and be kind
A D Dmaj7
When our faculties unwind
Em7 A
Overlook the hat and gloves
The tired act that no-one loves
There was a time we produced doves
Em7 A
Overlook the hat and gloves
The tired act that no-one loves
There was a time we produced doves
[Verse 5]
The old magician takes the stage
With sleight of hand he’ll disengage
As dignified as you’ll allow
He’ll take his last, his final bow
He’s lost all his illusions now
As dignified as you’ll allow
He’ll take one last, one final bow
He’s lost all his illusions now
