F Eb And the old king fell from grace, Bb while Lola fled, Gm C To save face and her career Am Em B7 C You caught a fly, floating by, D F Wait for him to drown in the dust; E7 C drown in the dust of other flies, Am Em whereby the machine is run, B7 C and the deed is done.

D C At night, I walk in the park, with a whip, Bb between the lines F of the whispering Jesuits, G A who are poisoning you against me. F There's a big black spider Eb hanging over my door. Bb Gm Can't go anywhere, anymore. C Tell me, are you with me? D C I called to you, several times, Bb while the change took place F G and then arrived, all night, A and I died.

B7 C It was dark out, I was half-dead. D F I saw a star fall into the sky, E like a chunk of thrown coal, C as if god himself spat B/C like a cornered rat. Am Em I really want you to do this for me, B7 C will you have one on me? D F It was dark; I was drunk and half-dead, E and we slept, knocking heads, C sitting up in the star-smoking air, B/C Am knocking heads like buoys. Em Don't you worry for me! B7 C Will you have one on me! D F Meanwhile, I will raise my own glass E to how you made me fast C and expendable, B/C Am and I will drink to your excellent health, Em and your cruelty.
