The Brothel Chords

Am    Fadd9  F
Purple pavement
Am                       Fadd9   F
Crookfingers knocking on windows without souls
Am             C            Em        Am
Bodies are swinging from rooftops and poles
Am             Fadd9  F
Howling through hollows
Am                  Fadd9     F
Restless nights in one night cheap hotels
Am            C            Em        Am
Oh, I'm only drifting to always come back
 
Am              Fadd9  F
Now I search for something
Am           Fadd9    F
Oh, whatever, I don't really care
Am             C                 Em        Am
Driving with their lights off they can be anywhere
Am               Fadd9  F
Rolling down their windows
Am            Fadd9   F
Open card with open mouths
Am     C         Em     Am
Golden teeth and golden cars
 
 
Am                     Am                                       F
You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you cover your ears
Dm                   G
Still you follow my trail
Am                     Am            F    Dm               G
I'll do it all, I'll do whatever you say, God has left me anyway
 
 
Love I laid in payment
Stars with stains and heaven and afterglow
Beneath the ashes are echoes buried alive
They are howling through hollows
Once we share their temple of our arms
Now our heads are hung up on walls
 
We are ruins within ruins
On every corner a gladiator is begging for another century
When no one cut your tongue to know nothing and to know it all
To be both the animal and god
 
You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you cover your ears
Still you follow our trail
We'll do it all, we'll do whatever you say, God has left us anyway
You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you cover your ears
Still you follow our trail
We'll do it all, we'll do whatever you say, God has left us anyway
 
          C             F         C       G
There are echoes in the garden is anybody listening
          C                  F         C       G
There are echoes lost in the garden is anybody listening
 
They whisper:
          C           F             C                 G
The ones who are only living is the ones who are only dying
