The King's crossing was the main attraction
Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
Whiskey works better than beer
The judge is on vinyl, decisions aren't final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal
If you hang around you're going to get wet

C G Dm
I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
Verse:
Am F
All you can do now is watch the shelves
C G Dm
The game looks easy, that's why it sells
Chorus:
C B/Am
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Am G/Am F
Are going to stand and deliver dark instead
C B/Am
The method acting that pays my bills
Am G/Am F
Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
C B/Am
I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
Am G/Am F
And I get my check from the trash treasury
C B/Am
Because I took my own insides out
Am F
It don't matter cause I have no sex life
C G Dm
And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife
Am
I've seen the movie
F C G Dm
And I know what happens
Am
It's Christmas time
F
And the needle's on the tree
C G Dm
A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
Am
His voice is overwhelming
F
But his speech is slurred
C G C F
And I only understand every other word
Open your parachute and grab your gun
Float down like an omen, a setting sun
Read the part and return at five
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
But I don't care if I fuck up
I'm going on a date
With a rich white lady
Ain't life great?
Gi'me one good reason not to do it
(Because I love you)
So do it.
This is the place where time reverses
And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
C G
Don't let me get carried away
C G
Don't let me get carried away
C G Dm
Don't let me be carried away
