   Cm       Bb         D#         G#
I in my longing fly out in the night
Cm            Bb             G#
unveiled and irreverently dressed
    Cm            Bb            D#        G#
I’m lip-stuck and liquored up- picking a fight
         Cm            D#           G#
I’m the wicked wicked witch of the west
Cm         Bb         D#          G#
over the alleyways, backward and blind
        Cm         Bb          G#
and the sad and insatiable sprawl
Cm         Bb          D#         G#
over the marketplace, darkly defined
Cm           D#           G#
his desert is sounding a call 

Bb   G#

Cm        Bb          D#         G#
he was a businessman twenty-five years
         Cm         Bb           G#
when the angel appeared with his orders
     Cm         Bb         D#        G#
I am making you mine, my divine volunteer
       Cm          D#           G#
and I’m flying you over the border
     Cm        Bb            D#         G#
and he can’t recall where it all fell apart
       Cm         Bb        G#
was it north of medina or south?
          Cm        Bb           D#        G#
where the prophecy ends and the politics start
          Cm          D#        G#
where the weapon went into his mouth 

Bridge

Cm              C#                 Cm     C     Fm
and everyone’s sleeping, and he’s flying out
               C#        Cm   C      Fm 
and no one can keep him down now 


(Instrumental, Same Chords Verse)
     Cm        Bb         D#         G#
the morning delivers the news to my door
        Cm        Bb          G#
of my president’s war in the east
    Cm          Bb         D#           G#
but he doesn’t tell me and I don’t know who’s
       Cm         D#          G#
in the belly and who is the beast
            Cm            Bb                 D#             G#
when there’s no place to run to, when there’s no place to hide
          Cm           Bb          G#
it won’t matter whose side you are on
         Cm             Bb                D#           G#
like the bomb in the basement we couldn’t stop if we tried
       Cm                    D#                    G#
and it won’t be long, and it won’t be long, and it won’t be long...
