Verse 2: 
 
      Gm     G       Eb        Bb 
      My Amazon six-triggered bride 
      ( Bb )                 Cm       Gm 
      Now searching for a place to hide 
      ( Gm )         G         Eb  Bb 
      Still sees truth quite easily 
      ( Bb )                Cm  Gm 
      Shrouds all else in mystery 
             Cm    Eb7        Gm 
      While madmen     in top    hats and tails 
      Cm             Eb7      Gm 
         Impale themselves on    six inch nails 
           Bb    Gm      Cm   Gm 
      And some Arabian   also-ran 
      Bb         Gm        Cm      Gm 
         Impersonates a   watering can 
 
      {repeat intro w/full band after each verse} 
 
Verse 2: 
 
      Some Santa Claus-like face of note 

      Entreats my ears to set afloat 

      My feeble, sick, and weary brain 

      And I am overcome with shame 

      And hide inside my overcoat 

      And hurriedly begin to quote 

      And some Arabian   sheik most grand 

      Impersonates a   hot dog stand 
 
Instrumental break: 
 
      (guitar solo over verse chords) 
 
Verse 3: 
 
      Red Cross ambulance outside 

      Could only mean that I must hide 

      'Til dusk and finally the night 

      When I will make a hasty flight 

      Across the sea and far away 

      To where the weary exiles stay 

      And some Arabian   oil well 

      Impersonates a   padded cell 
 
Coda:

         Impersonates a   padded cell
