Intro: Bm7 Bm7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7
Verse 1:
When they beat on a broken guitar
And on the streets they reek of tropical charms
The embassies lie in hideous shards
Where tourists snore and decay
Verse 2:
When they dance in a reptile blaze
You wear a mask an equatorial haze
Into the past a colonial maze
Where there's no more confetti to throw
Chorus 1:
You didn't know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
Misery waiting in vague hotels....
To be evicted....
Instrumental Break 1: Bm7 Bm7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7
(x2)
Verse 3:
You're out of luck you're singing funeral songs
To the studs they're anabolic and bronze
They seem to strut in their millennial fogs
Til they fall down and deflate
Chorus 2:
You didn't know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
Misery waiting in vague hotels....
To be evicted....
Instrumental Break 2: Bm7 Bm7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7
(x2)
Verse 4:
Oh and now you've had your fun
Under an air-conditioned sun
It's burned into your eyes
Leaves you plain and left behind
I see them eyes and fall
Into the jaws of a pestilent love
Chorus 3:
You didn't know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
Misery waiting in vague hotels....
To be evicted....
Instrumental Break 3/Outro: Bm7 Bm7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7
(x48)
