Cm Bb D# G#
I in my longing fly out in the night
Cm Bb G#
unveiled and irreverently dressed
Cm Bb D# G#
I’m lip-stuck and liquored up- picking a fight
Cm D# G#
I’m the wicked wicked witch of the west
Cm Bb D# G#
over the alleyways, backward and blind
Cm Bb G#
and the sad and insatiable sprawl
Cm Bb D# G#
over the marketplace, darkly defined
Cm D# G#
his desert is sounding a call
Bb G#
Cm Bb D# G#
he was a businessman twenty-five years
Cm Bb G#
when the angel appeared with his orders
Cm Bb D# G#
I am making you mine, my divine volunteer
Cm D# G#
and I’m flying you over the border
Cm Bb D# G#
and he can’t recall where it all fell apart
Cm Bb G#
was it north of medina or south?
Cm Bb D# G#
where the prophecy ends and the politics start
Cm D# G#
where the weapon went into his mouth
Bridge
Cm C# Cm C Fm
and everyone’s sleeping, and he’s flying out
C# Cm C Fm
and no one can keep him down now
(Instrumental, Same Chords Verse)
Cm Bb D# G#
the morning delivers the news to my door
Cm Bb G#
of my president’s war in the east
Cm Bb D# G#
but he doesn’t tell me and I don’t know who’s
Cm D# G#
in the belly and who is the beast
Cm Bb D# G#
when there’s no place to run to, when there’s no place to hide
Cm Bb G#
it won’t matter whose side you are on
Cm Bb D# G#
like the bomb in the basement we couldn’t stop if we tried
Cm D# G#
and it won’t be long, and it won’t be long, and it won’t be long...
