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

Bb   Ab

Cm        Bb          Eb         Ab
he was a businessman twenty-five years
         Cm         Bb           Ab
when the angel appeared with his orders
     Cm         Bb         Eb        Ab
I am making you mine, my divine volunteer
       Cm          Eb           Ab
and I’m flying you over the border
     Cm        Bb            Eb         Ab
and he can’t recall where it all fell apart
       Cm         Bb        Ab
was it north of medina or south?
          Cm        Bb           Eb        Ab
where the prophecy ends and the politics start
          Cm          Eb        Ab
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         Eb         Ab
the morning delivers the news to my door
        Cm        Bb          Ab
of my president’s war in the east
    Cm          Bb         Eb           Ab
but he doesn’t tell me and I don’t know who’s
       Cm         Eb          Ab
in the belly and who is the beast
            Cm            Bb                 Eb             Ab
when there’s no place to run to, when there’s no place to hide
          Cm           Bb          Ab
it won’t matter whose side you are on
         Cm             Bb                Eb           Ab
like the bomb in the basement we couldn’t stop if we tried
       Cm                    Eb                    Ab
and it won’t be long, and it won’t be long, and it won’t be long...
