    Verse 1
    Ah 
    the man 
    she 

    wanted 
    all 
    her 
    life 
    was 
    hanging 
    by 
    thread 

    "I 
    never 
    even 
    knew 
    how 
    much 

    wanted 
    you," 
    she 
    said. 

    His 
    muscles 
    they 
    were 
    numbered 

    and 
    his 
    style 
    was 
    obsolete. 

    "O 
    baby, 
    have 
    come 
    too 
    late." 

    She 
    knelt 
    beside 
    his 
    feet. 

    "I'll 
    never 
    see 
    face 
    like 
    yours 

    in 
    years 
    of 
    men 
    to 
    come 

    I'll 
    never 
    see 
    such 
    arms 
    again 

    in 
    wrestling 
    or 
    in 
    love." 

    And 
    all 
    his 
    virtues 
    burning 
    in 

    the 
    smoky 
    Holocaust 

    She 
    took 
    unto 
    her
    self 
    most 

    everything 
    her 
    lover 
    lost 

    Now 
    the master 
    of 
    this 
    landscape 

    he was 
    standing 
    at 
    the view 

    With 
    sparrow 
    of 
    St. 
    Francis 

    that 
    he 
    was 
    preaching 
    to 

    She 
    beckoned 
    to 
    the 
    sentry 
    of 

    his 
    high 
    religious 
    mood 

    She 
    said, 
    "I'll 
    make 
    a place 

    between 
    my 
    legs, 

    I'll 
    show 
    you 
    solitude." 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    He 
    offered 
    her 
    an 
    orgy 
    in 

    many 
    mirrored 
    room 

    He 
    promised 
    her 
    pro
    tection 

    for 
    the 
    issue 
    of 
    her 
    womb 

    She 
    moved 
    her 
    body 
    hard 
    against 

    sharpened 
    metal 
    spoon 

    She 
    stopped 
    the 
    bloody 
    rituals 
    of 
    passage 
    to 
    the 

    Interlude 2
    moon 




    Verse 3
    She 
    took 
    his 
    much 
    admired 

    orient
    al 
    frame 
    of 
    mind 

    And 
    the heart-of-darkness 
    alibi 

    alibi 
    alibi 
    his 
    money 
    hides 
    behind 

    She 
    took 
    his 
    blonde 
    Madonna 

    and 
    his 
    monastery 
    wine 

    "This 
    men
    tal 
    space 
    is 
    occu

    pied 
    and 
    everything 
    is 
    mine." 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 4
    He 
    tried 
    to 
    make 
    final 
    stand 
    be

    side 
    the 
    railway 
    track 

    She said, 
    "The 
    art 
    of 
    long
    ing's over 

    and 
    it's 
    never 
    coming 
    back
    ." 

    She 
    took 
    his 
    tavern 
    parliament, 

    his 
    cap, 
    his 
    cocky 
    dance, 

    She 
    mocked 
    his 
    female 
    fash
    ions 
    and 

    his 
    working-class 
    mustache. 

    Interlude 4
    mus
    tache. 


    Verse 5
    The 
    last 
    time 
    that 
    saw 
    him 

    he was 
    trying 
    hard 
    to 
    get 

    wo
    man's 
    education 
    but 

    he's 
    not 
    woman 
    yet 

    And the 
    last 
    time 
    that 
    saw 
    her 

    she was 
    living 
    with 
    some 
    boy 

    Who 
    gives 
    her 
    soul 
    an 
    empty 
    room 

    and 
    gives 
    her 
    body 
    joy. 

    Interlude 5

    So 
    the 
    great 
    Verse 6
    affair 
    is 
    over 
    but 

    who
    ever 
    would 
    have 
    guessed 

    It 
    would 
    leave 
    us 
    all 
    so 
    va
    cant 

    and 
    so 
    deeply 
    unimpressed 

    It's 
    like 
    our 
    visit 
    to the 

    moon 
    or 
    to 
    that 
    other 
    star 

    guess 
    you 
    go 
    for 
    nothing 
    if 
    you 
    really 

    want 
    to 
    go 
    that 
    far. 

    Interlude 6


    Verse 7
    It's 
    like 
    our 
    visit 
    to 
    the moon 

    or 
    to 
    that other 
    star 

    guess 
    you go 
    for 
    nothing 
    if 
    you 
    really 

    want 
    to 
    go 
    that 
    far. 

    Interlude 7


    It's 
    like 
    our 
    visit 
    Verse 8
    to 
    the 

    moon 
    or 
    to 
    that 
    other 
    star 

    guess 
    you 
    go 
    for 
    noth
    ing 
    if 

    you 
    really 
    want 
    to 
    go 
    that 
    far.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
