He gets [D]close but I [A]choke. Take your [F#m]shit, take your [Bm]clothes
And get [A]out of my [G]home, well I want you to [A]love me
But I want you long gon[Em]e. You say your real name is [A]John?

?Hey thanks [D]John. Now go sing [A]songs. Go rock [F#m]on. Roll your[Bm] show
?on d[A]own the r[G]oad. Kill one more moonlit [A]doe
?You think you can get up a[Em]bove me? Well I want you to [A]know

That you're a figure of fun to everyone
Beneath the lone star neon, broken, blinking sign
They wish they were you
Like I wish you were mine
What a dumb thing to do
Like when I think of you
Lying naked and tired
How did such a tiredness
Get itself inside of you?

[comment=play a bit of the Intro here]

Another day, lost and gone
Clipping pages from the news for the senators' son
Well he just strolls through the lobby
Glad hands everyone
Another day tossed and done (all over)
Now go home, take off clothes
Smoke a bowl, watch a whole TV movie
I was supposed to be writing
The most beautiful poem
And completely revealing
Divine mysteries up close
I can't say that I'm feeling
All that much at all
At 27 years old

Well I'm discussed with desire
By the guys who conspire
At the only good bar in town
And over $1 of ...
They sit and drink and wish they had me
Like I wish I had fire
What a sad way to be
What a girl who got tired
And I wonder who you got your hooks in tonight
Was she happy to be hooked
And on your arm did she feel alive?
