She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street

                          EE Piano Chord 

I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet
AA Piano Chord 
                              F#mF#m Piano Chord 

We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan
DD Piano Chord 
                               EE Piano Chord 
             AA Piano Chord 

But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man

EE Piano Chord 
                                               AA Piano Chord 

Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way
F#F# Piano Chord 
                                BB Piano Chord 

She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you
EE Piano Chord 
                                                AA Piano Chord 

This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two

Death and hell are never full

       AA Piano Chord 

And neither are the eyes of men
DD Piano Chord

Cats can fly from nine stories high

        DD Piano Chord 

And pigs can see the wind

She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor
DD Piano Chord 
                        EE Piano Chord 

Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door
AA Piano Chord 
                              F#mF#m Piano Chord 

The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul
DD Piano Chord 
                            EE Piano Chord 
               AA Piano Chord 

My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control

Verse 4:
F#F# Piano Chord 
                                 BB Piano Chord 

Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal
EE Piano Chord 
                                         AA Piano Chord 

You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal
F#F# Piano Chord 
                          BB Piano Chord 

I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red
EE Piano Chord 
                                          AA Piano Chord 

The first station of the cross is just above my head
F#F# Piano Chord 
                       BB Piano Chord 

I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed
EE Piano Chord 
                                                AA Piano Chord 

Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head
