    Second Coming

E5                      D5
I've seen your severed head
      A5
At a banquet for the dead
E5                      D5
All are dressed up for dinner
           A5
Looked so fine
     E5              D5
Your shining silver service
    A5
So tasteful it powdered
         E5      D5              A5
With the finest military quick wine

Now try and picture this
As I gave you a kiss
The apple in your mouth slipped in mine
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade
We laughed as we put away your wine

B5                               A5               E5
So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives
A5             E5                   B5
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
    A5                 B5
And tell you how they died

           E5
How do you sleep

How do you last the night
    A5                B5
And keep the dogs at bay
           E5
How do you feel when you close your eyes
    A5             B5
And try and drift away
        E5        A5
Does it feel any better now
        E5        B5
Does it mean any more
         E5        A5
When the angel of death comes
        B5           A5               E5
Knock- knocking and banging at your door

When all the fun was over
I put you on my shoulder
Took you home away from it all
Shot down and claimed, mounted and framed
Tastefully hung upon my wall

B5
All my dreams, your nightmares
  A5                  E5
I hope they all come true
A5            E5                 B5
Get off your knees the party's over
    A5              B5
I'm coming home to you
