Verse 1:
LA FA#m
She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street
RE MI
I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet
LA FA#m
We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan
RE MI LA
But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man
Verse 2:
FA# SI
I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today
MI LA
Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way
FA# SI
She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you
MI LA
This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two
Chorus
RE MI RE LA
Death and hell are never full
RE MI LA
And neither are the eyes of men
RE MI RE LA
Cats can fly from nine stories high
MI RE
And pigs can see the wind
Verse 3:
LA FA#m
She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor
RE MI
Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door
LA FA#m
The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul
RE MI LA
My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control
Verse 4:
FA# SI
Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal
MI LA
You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal
FA# SI
I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red
MI LA
The first station of the cross is just above my head
FA# SI
I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed
MI LA
Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head
Chorus
