I guess I should have known to stay away

Director gave me the biggest scene
                Em              A              E
What does it mean when Pentecostal born-again virgins
        A       Bb             A
Appear picketing in angry protest?
        D       A
Oh, those sloppy tarts 
        D       A

Sure, a dead man quietly pulling on his tongue 
A   D G
In a coffin after being hung

A E    Bb A
When the stagehand approaches 
Wheeling in a guillotine?

Of coital sessions in gelatinal light

A  Bb A D
Don?t think I?ll be attending the premier
