Intro: D Em A
[Verse 1]
D
And so the story goes they wore the clothes
Em A
They said the things to make it seem improbable
D Em A
The whale of a lie like they hope it was
D
And the Goodmen Tomorrow had their feet in the wallow
Em
And their heads of Brawn were nicer shorn
A D
And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust
Em A
And the world was asleep to our latent fuss
D Em
Sighing the swirl through the streets
A
Like the crust of the sun
[Chorus 1]
Bm
The Bewlay Brothers
A
In our Wings that Bark
G
Flashing teeth of Brass
F#
Standing tall in the dark
F#sus4 F# Asus2
Oh And we were Gone
G
Hanging out with your Dwarf Men
G G/F# Em
We were so turned on
C
By your lack of conclusions
Interlude: D Em A
[Verse 2]
D
I was Stone and he was Wax
Em
So he could scream and still relax unbelievable
A D Em A
And we frightened the small children away
D
And our talk was old and dust would flow through our veins
Em
And Lo it was midnight back at the kitchen door
A D
Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor
Em A D
And the solid book we wrote cannot be found today
Em A
And it was stalking time for the Moonboys
[Chorus 2]
Bm
The Bewlay Brothers
A
With our backs on the arch
G
In the Devil-may-be-here
F#
But He can't sing about that

Oh And we were Gone

Real Cool Traders
G G/F# Em
We were so Turned On
C
You thought we were Fakers
Interlude: D Em A
[Verse 3]
D
And now the dress is hung the ticket pawned
Em
The Factor Max that proved the fact is melted down
A D Em A
Woven on the edging of my pillow
D
Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks
Em
He could be dead He could be not he could be You
A D
He's Chameleon Comedian Corinthian and Caricature

Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky

We were so Turned On

In the Mind-Warp Pavilion

Leave my shoes and door unlocked
