I guess I should have known to stay away
A5                       D5      G5
From a snuff film by Jean Genet
D5       G5      D5              G5 
But the cash was good and the 
A5                               C5
Director gave me the biggest scene
                E5              A5              E5
What does it mean when Pentecostal born-again virgins
        A5       Bb5             A5
Appear picketing in angry protest?
        D5       A5
Oh, those sloppy tarts 
        D5       A5
Have sulphurized hearts

Sure, a dead man quietly pulling on his tongue 
A5   D5 G5
In a coffin after being hung
D5 G5 D5 G5
Does make strange erotic cinema 
C5                       G5      Bb5 
But that was the great master?s vision
A5                       G5
And the actors agree to portray 
                D5              A5
The fiend is best in a death fantasy
Because when one is licking the knife
A5                       A5
Ah, well, that is truly the life

Oh, what does it mean 
A5 E5    Bb5 A5
When the stagehand approaches 
Wheeling in a guillotine?
Let?s play nice
D5    A5
Yes, I want to be a star 
D5       A5
But that?s going too far


Yes, I?m still smarting from the bite 
Of coital sessions in gelatinal light
I?m questioning my chosen career 
A5  Bb5 A5 D5
Don?t think I?ll be attending the premier
