Your love was only a whisper away, scratch my hands and say
There's a better land
Well I know your daddy he's not rich, and your mother's a drunkard but you're
The one i worship and adore
But all is whole when they're layin me down,
You know it smells like Bangkok in Chinatown,
Did you get your pound of flesh today?
same as verse 1)
I've forgot all that I had, still livin about your pad,
It's a mean unleasant land
Sometimes you come in deep inside, sometimes it doesn't touch the sides,
Like a sausage up an alleyway
(Repeat chorus)
How innocent is the day, when you smiled and then you lay on your side
Below outdoor sun?... It's another plan... It's another land
(Repeat verse one, last 8 bars is solo - make up your own using pentatonic scale)
(repeat chorus x2)
End on C, slide down neck then hit C5
