De Chirico Street, by Robyn Hitchcock [The numbers in parentheses are fret numbers, because sometimes it makes a difference. Fret numbers are taken from the high E string]
I was followed home by a weighing machine on De Chirico Street
He said "What do you know" I said "What do you mean" on De Chirico Street
And the numbers turned to fingers and the fingers turned to flies and they buzzed around your portait
I was followed home by a seventy-three on De Chirico Street It was advertising you and me on De Chirico Street In the photograph we kissed the conductor's name was Milo as the bus went past he hissed "Fleshhead"
I hyena sprang, she was on all fours on De Chirico Street and her outline shown through a piece of gauze on De Chirico Street if you meet me by the clock, I can kiss you through the window Cause you love that suddden shock
Don't moralize Get on with it
You can go now you've discharged all your responsibilities
N-n-n-Now On De Chirico Street
Where the sundial fell it was oh so black on on De Chirico Street And a lizard's tail slithered in the crack on De Chirico Street and the pale yellow globes flicker softly in your window as you pace the night with strobes
It's the darkest stream in the whole wide world on De Chirico Street It's a bat, it's a bat, it's a bat, it's a girl on De Chirico Street In my pocket, nightmares dress I said "Jasper, this one's evil But I love my lioness" My lioness
