D
I drive alone, home from work
Bm AAnd I always think of her
Late at night I call her, but I never say a word
G Bm A D GBut I can see her squeeze the phone between her chin and shoulder
Bm A D G D GAnd I can almost smell her breath, faint, with a sweet scent of decay
She serves him mashed potatoes
Bm AShe serves him peppered steak, and corn
D Bm APulls the dress up over her head, lets it fall to the floor
And does she ever whisper in his ear, all her favorite fruit
Bm A D GAnd all the most exotic places they are cultivated
D Bm AAnd I'd like to take her there, rather than this train I'm on
And if I weren't a civil servant, I'd have a place in the colonies
G Bm A D GWe'd play croquet behind white-washed walls and drink our tea at four
Bm A D GWithin intervention's distance of the embassy
The midday air grows thicker with the heat
Bm AAnd drifts towards the line of trees
D A D Bm AWhen negroes blink their eyes, they sink into siesta
And we are rotting like a fruit underneath a rusting roof
Bm A D GWe dream our dreams and sing our songs of love - fecundity
D G D G D GOf life and love, of life and love, of life and love
(end with opening riff, then finish on D)
You may wish to play the G barred on the 3rd fret, and sometimes pick the
top three strings descending.
