Intro:
Am x4

Am (x02210@1)                       AmA (x02210@1)monk with a hard-on, And a lavender robe
      Dm (xx0231@1)                 E (022100@1)That scratches his thighs, Through the hat that he strode
Am (x02210@1)                  AmAs (x02210@1)he follows a path, Filled with every desire
    Dm (xx0231@1)                  E (022100@1)                     AmAnd (x02210@1)mimics his footsteps, And sets his prayers on fire.

Am (x02210@1)                     AmWell (x02210@1)I too have chosen, That which left no choice
   Dm (xx0231@1)                E (022100@1)To sing without loving,A solitary voice,
Am (x02210@1)                     AmTo (x02210@1)observe with passion, Each careful denial
    Dm (xx0231@1)                           E (022100@1)                   AmThe (x02210@1)protrusions which give my life meaning for a while.

Am (x02210@1)                   Dm (xx0231@1)    Sometimes I see you in berries and weeds
            C (x32010@1)                      F (133211@1)    You're brushing your teeth with liquorice seeds
     F (133211@1)                 A# (x1333x@1)
     Standing too close, Pulling your clothes,
     E (022100@1)    Smiling at God And the meaning of life grows.

Am (x02210@1)                     AmNo (x02210@1)and I'll never tell, And I'll never know
     Dm (xx0231@1)                E (022100@1)What candles you light, After the show
Am (x02210@1)                 AmAnd (x02210@1)I'll never tell, And I'll never ask
    Dm (xx0231@1)            E (022100@1)The meaning of life after mass.

Am Am7
