C           G            Am
All of the stage names evaporate
                  F                 C            G
And it's just a blood-flushed and heart-rushing race
           F             C       Am                           F
Either to kick off too soon or stick around too late, to be far too 
                 G
dear or too cut-rate
         Am
Hold my hand again
             G
Like at the lake
            Am
Hold that mirror, babe
          G
Up to my face
           Am
Hear the whippoorwill?
       F
Am I breathing still?

C            G        Am                          
A Hollywood Babylon bike-a-thon for breakdancers
F          C             G
All broken down in their beds
F         C        G
Now intravenously fed
F                  C           G
From a bag hanging over their heads
               Am
Can I put you down for some miles?
             G
What do you say?
                  Am                                 G
Cause don't you know, it's going to be a long, long way
               Am
But if you've got the cash
              F
I'm ready to bust my ass

     C               G          Am                    
So, take this thin broken down circus clown reject and
 F            C         G
Give her the name of a queen
         F             C        G
Don't I know her from the mezzanine?
            F         C             G
She didn't look like no princess to me
                     Am
But with the proper words
    G
Bestowed
              Am
And with her morning shoot
              G
Her evening clothes
                   Am
Don't call her a prostitute
                         G
Well, she ain't one of those
                  Am
Just call her a proper little statue
         F
Come unfroze
