[Verse 1]
D
Tonite on Keyhole street,
D
where tablet, spoon & needle meet
G
Painfully dangerous fallen angels
D
will swoon over crooners with powdery eyes
D
On Ellington Square, they're dying their hair
D
and they're finger painting on their criminal stares
G
They'll have to struggle to tell,
D
paradise from hell without me tonight
[Chorus]
A Bm A G
And, I don't understand - No, I don't understand
A D
What it means to be a married man, I don't understand
[Verse 2]
D
A summer ago after years of gathering mold
G
She stowed her ripped up slips & her jet black lipstick
D
away and let her strawberry blonde roots grow
D
Now it's hard to believe, we were the King & the Queen
D
of the fiends in the leather and mascara scene
G D
and trampiest pair of vampire magazine pin-ups
D
on dance hall row
[Chorus]
A Bm A G
And, I don't understand - No, I don't understand
A D
What it means to be a married man, I don't understand
[Bridge]
Bm G
In the warm morning light
D A
the undead all someday arise
Bm G
and if the sunlight don't strike them blind
D A
they'll wind up in limbo condemned to survive
Bm A G D
I don't understand, I don't understand
[Repeat Intro]
G D G A D
[Verse 3]
D
I remember a June, when each afternoon
D
she awakened me softly, with kisses and coffee
G
and sat naked on the edge of the bed,
D
smoking Marlboro reds til the rise of the moon
D
But I'm too numb now to dream, suspended between
D
the handsome woman she's become
G
and the need for the hellcat she used to be
D
I don't see why they both can't be true
[Chorus]
A Bm A G
And, I don't understand - No, I don't understand
A D
What it means to be a married man, I don't understand
[Bridge]
Bm G
In the warm morning light
D A
the undead all someday arise
Bm G
and if the sunlight don't strike them blind
D A
they'll wind up in limbo condemned to survive
Bm A G D
I don't understand, I don't understand
[Verse 4]
D
Tonight on Keyhole street
D
where fabric, moonlight and heat all meet
G
awkwardly cruel little harlots will drool
D
over bar stool sex tools with X's for eyes
D
On Ellington Square they're teasing their hair
D
and they're painting on their latex play wear
G
they'll have to balance the peril
D
of paradise and hell without me tonight
[Final CHORUS]
A Bm A G
And, I don't understand - No, I don't understand
A
I can hold her sweet face in my hands
D
I still don't understand
[Repeat Intro]
