Take Me To The Paradise
By Robbie Fulks

G D/F# Am G D/F# Am
Stained-glass windows smoked-wood tables
G D/F# Am G D/F# Am
The slaves of culture toil by night
G D/F# Am G D/F# Am
The pall of perfumed true confessions
D D/C D/B D/C
And when the air gets thick as this
D D/C D/B D/C
You can cut it with a straw
Bm Em Am D
And as the moon hangs over Waverly they call
Chorus:
G D C G D C D
Take me to the Paradise, let me live once more
G D C Em Am
Greater men have faced these walls, and fallen on the floor
Here the homosexual novelist
Full of rage in 1960
There the coiffured ex-viscount
Watches empty seconds fly
Until the blood clot zeroes in
And grants him immortality again
Chorus 2:
Take me to the Paradise, beauty sleeps inside
Drinking in the mezzanine with millionaires' first wives
Take me to the Paradise, let me live once more
Greater men have faced these walls, and fallen on the floor
The moon broke through the hotel curtain
And as you lay asleep, I touched your skin
And it amazed me you were once inhuman
Once you crawled out of your womb
Now we grope our way downstairs
And we don't need any fool to drag us there
Chorus 2
