Of Montreal

Bm                   E7
They had painted her face like a man's mistake
                F#m
Gangbanging the sad return to the eagle-shaped mirror
D                 A                         Bm
  I'm the kind of mannequin that cheats and opens its eyes
                     A
To the ladies of the spread

G
She took me home then spit in my drink
She spoke of Germaine Greer and Friedan
I don't know what to think
I took her standing in the kitchen
Ass against the sink
She draped me in a stole (what kind?)
I think Malaysian mink

And threw me out into the snow
I waited for a bus
Up comes some values voters screaming, "Are you one of us?"
I said, "Of course man, can't you see I've got syntax reconstruction"
(What does that mean?) No clue
It must be illicit pentagram
(What are you talking about?) No clue

I check my shutter speed, my aperture, my domino
Can't focus, can't stop staring at the face I used to know
This life is not a prison we are always free to go
Anytime

        Bb             Am             Gm
Chinese stars, Chinese stars, Chinese stars
   F              E                    Eb     F Gm
My cousin had the rawist Chinese stars


B                   A
 I'm trying to interface
Bb                    F
 You met me at such a dismal point on the arc
Gb         Ab   Db
 I think I understand what you were saying
Fm
 About the smiles, of the skulls
B                      A
 This spastic face was the last one
Our luck was white
Bb                 F                          Gb
 I read it with my head open, I only slightly cracked
         Ab        Db
Somebody else will have to close it when I'm done
Fm
 And make the most out of the visuals

C                         Gm
 While walking though the wood
              F                         Fm            Fm6    Em
I noticed someone had built a house for no bird in particular
n.c.
They want to destroy us (I know)
It's time to penetrate their fantasy
