F#
Billie and my friend the saint
                            A#m
You're perfect in so many ways
D#m                            B
But you never looked hard at a fetus in a jar
G#
You never saw your mama change

F#
And this wonderland of spite
                           A#m
Does not shine into your night
D#m                       B
Like widows are seen as stigmatized beings
    G#             C#
Who ought to have a second chance
 A#m                     D#m              B
And hurricanes spin like debutantes in a trance

[Chorus]

Rue the rising tide

General Washington
 D             B                   F#
Patented that skull, throw him out

[Verse]
F#
Ship that hollandaise
                        A#m
Feel the heart fell of touche
D#m                        B
See the longer you tease, the stronger the needs
G#
The highs and the fruit are long

F#
Up to the one a kid
                           A#m
Call the bluff when the money's in
D#m              B          G#      C#
You're a hungry matron and you are just what I need
A#m                D#m              B
I was tired of the best years of my life

[Chorus]
