When I think of those East End lights

Muggy nights

F                             G

Prima Donna lord you really should have been there

Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair

And it's one more beer

A7

And I don't hear you anymore

C

We've all gone crazy lately

My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

C              C#dim

Altar-bound, hypnotized

Of evening showers

G                    F                    C

A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams

F                             G

I'm strangled by your haunted social scene

F                G                        C

Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen

It's four o'clock in the morning

Damn it listen to me good

I'm sleeping with myself tonight
