Verse 1
(A minor) The stories of the street (C major)
are mine
The Span (E minor) ish voices (B minor) laugh
(A minor) The Cadillacs go (C major) creeping now
Through the (E minor) night and the poison (B minor) gas
And (A minor) I lean from my (F major) window sill
In this (G major) old hotel (F sharp major) I chose (B major)
Yes, (E major) one hand on my suicide (A major)
(E major) One hand on the (D major) rose

Verse 2
I know you've (A minor) heard it's (C major) over now
And war (E minor) must surely come (B minor)
(A minor) The cities they all broke (C major) in half
(E minor) And the middlemen are gone (B minor)
But (A minor) let me ask you (F major) one more time
O (G major) children (F sharp major) of the dusk (B major)
All these (E major) hunters who are shrieking (A major) now
Oh, (E major) do they speak for (D major) us? (A major) (A minor)
And where do all these (C major) highways go
(E minor) Now that we are free? (B minor)
(A minor) Why are the armies (C major) marching still
(E minor) That were coming home to (B minor) me?
Verse 3
O (A minor) lady with your legs (F major) so fine
O (G major) stranger (F sharp major) at your (B major) wheel
You are (E major) locked into your suf (A major) fering
And your (E major) pleasures are the seal (D major) (A major) (A minor)
The age of lust (C major) is giving birth
(E minor) And both the parents (B minor) ask
(A minor) The nurse to tell them (C major) fairy tales
On (E minor) both sides of the glass (B minor)
(A minor) And now the infant (F major) with his cord
Is (G major) hauled in (F sharp major) like a kite (B major)
And one (E major) eye filled with (A major) blueprints
(E major) One eye filled with night (D major)
Interlude 2
(D major) (A major) (A minor)
Verse 4
O (A minor) come with me my (C major) little one
We (E minor) will find that (B minor) farm
(A minor) And grow us grass and (C major) apples there
(E minor) And keep all the animals (B minor) warm
And (A minor) if by chance I (F major) wake at night
And I ask (G major) you (F sharp major) who I am (B major)
O (E major) take me to the slaughterhouse (A major)
I will (E major) wait there with the lamb (D major) (A major) (A minor)
With one hand on (C major) (E minor) the hexagram
And one hand on the (B minor) girl
I (A minor) balance on a (C major) wishing well
That (E minor) all men call (B minor) the world
(D major) We (A minor) are so small
Verse 5
between (F major) the stars
So (G major) large (F sharp major) against the sky (B major)
And lost (E major) among the subway (A major) crowds
I (E major) try to catch your eye (D major)
Outro 1
(D major) (A major) (A minor)
