Bm
Locked in a room full of words
F#m
I’m the one-eyed midget with the curse

The simpleton who sweetly smiles at his young lover now beguiled
E B
The sycophantic morons lied at Romeo who is the bride, let's ride
Bm
Stoned as I walk down the hall
F#m
The adman waits to hear the curse and call
A
The angels scream in discontent as to the river they are led
E
The actors bow and pay the rent, we cover them in cold cement
B
Let's swing for the crime everyone in double time
[Refrão]
D E Bm
And we hope that you had a good time

Yeah smile as you sign on the line

Because life on your knees can be fun
D E Bm
Surprised now you're not the only one
verse 2
Bm
Led like a lamb into this gloom
F#m
Yeah Freud is in the back room with his goons
A
Now they've got new experiments, the metal groans, the limbs are rent
E
The anti-heros’ mock dissent, we market now by mass consent
B
We swing for the crime everyone in double time

Scream like you’ll burst if they cry

Is changed by the words that you learn

But Jack the Ripper is inside And Moriarty has imbibed

They live, they marry, all the while We laugh and have them circumcised
[Refrão]
