G D D C C G C G

G C

When your lost in the rain in Juarez

D C G C G

And it's Easter time too

G C

When your gravity is down and negativity

D C G C G

Won't pull you through

C

Don't you put on any airs

G C G

When your down on Rue Morgue Avenue.

D

They got some hungry creatures there

C G C G

They'll surely make a mess out of you

If you see St Annie,

Please tell her thanks alot

My thoughts they are twisted,

My tentacles are all in a knot

I don't even have the strength

To get up and take another shot.

Now my best friend, my drummer,

Won't even tell what it was that I dropped

Now sweet Melinda,

The peasants call her the goddess of gloom.

She speaks good English

As she invites you up into her room.

And you, you were so damn conscientious,

You couldn't go to her too soon

Still she takes your voice

And leaves you howling at the moon.

Up on Housing Project Hill,

It's either fortune or fame

You must choose one or the other

Though neither are to be what they claim

If you're looking to get silly,

You better get back from where you came

You know the cops don't need you

And we all expect the same.

Now all the authorities,

They just lay around and boast

About how they blackmailed the President

Into leaving his post.

And picking up Angel,

Who arrived up here from the coast,

Who looked so fine at first,

But left looking like a ghost.

I started out on burgandy,

but I soon hit the harder stuff

Everybody swore they'd stand behind me

When the game got rough

But the joke was on me,

There was nobody even there to call my bluff

I'm goin' back to San Enselmo,

I do believe I had enough.
