[Intro]
C G A E Fmaj7 C
C G A E Fmaj7 C
 
[Verse 1]
C G  A     E    F        C
lazy flies all hovering above
    C G   A     E  F           C
the magistrate, he puts on his gloves
        D7            G        F            C
and he looks to the clouds all pink and disheveled
       B7             C             G            F#
there must be some blueprints, some creed of the devil
    F             C
inscribed in our minds
 
[Chorus 1]
  Am       D   F           Am
a hideous game vanishes in thin air
    Am         D     F            Am
the vanity of slaves who wants to be there?
    E           F                   C
to sweep the debris to harness dead-horses
   D           G     F          C
to ride in the sun a life of confessions
E              F    G#
written in the dust
 
[Verse 2]
C     G     A     E      F            C
out in the mangroves the mynah birds cry
       C       G  A       E    F             C
in the shadows of sulphur the trawlers drift by
        D7            G         F            C
they're chewing dried meat in a house of disrepute
B7          C           G        F#
the dust of opiates and syphilis patients
   F           C
on brochure vacations
 
[Chorus2]
Am         D          F              Am
fear has a glare that traps you like searchlights
    Am        D          F             Am
the puritans stare their souls are fluoresecent
    E         F                   C
the skin of a robot vibrates with pleasure
D           G         F            C
matrons and gigolos carouse in the parlor
      E            F                G#
their hand-grenade eyes invalid and blind

[Chorus 3]
  Am       D   F           Am
a hideous game vanishes in thin air
    Am         D     F            Am
the vanity of slaves who wants to be there?
    E           F                    C
to sweep the debris to harness dead-horses
   D           G     F          C
to ride in the sun a life of confessions
E               F    G#
written in the dust
