Ok Heironymous Lyrics

Pre>g					 c
I break a heart in a thousand places, she makes a slur against other races
G 				  c			 d
He rejects all of the unpretty faces, sticks them full of knives
G					 c
I take a shot at birds flying south, he takes the gun barrel into his mouth
G				    c	   d
She takes a rope and ties up the house, with the kids inside
G					 c
They just want to curl right up and die
G				 am  d
Them and us are only passing by
G	  c		 d			 em
Hey hieronymous	  I know where your garden grows
F	  c	    d
I know where your bloody roses bloom
G	c	   d			   em
Hey hieronymous  tell me what delights there are
F 		 c	   d
Right outside this window or inside this room
G					 c
Just taste the odor of burning skin, the pitchfork tongues and the rot within
G				   c		 d
The torture victim’s wiped-out grin nothing can erase
G					 c
Somebody’s pouring salt on a wound, scooping out monkey’s brains with a spoon
G					 c		  d
Working on warfare up on the moon, that’s the latest phase
G				   c
We just want to curl right up and die
G			  am	d
You and me are only passing by   (chorus)(guitar solo)
G 				  c
Germans and turks and english nerks spew out of doorways going beserk
G					c		d
Inside of everyone someone lurks, they don’t even know
G
Bring them all in, yeah, they’re welcome here
C
You can’t sell your work? then cut off your ear
G				   c 	   d
Put it right on the table there, all tied up in bows

(chorus) (repeat chorus) (outro same as verse) /pre>
