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