A                                   F#m 
She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street
   D                          E
I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet
  A                              F#m
We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan
    D                               E             A
But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man

[Verse 2]
 F#                                B                   
I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today
   E                                               A  
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
    E                                                A
This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two

[Chorus]
 D        E        D      A   
Death and hell are never full
     D              E       A
And neither are the eyes of men
 D       E        D            A    
Cats can fly from nine stories high
             E        D
And pigs can see the wind

[Verse 3]
 A                            F#m
She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor
     D                        E
Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door
 A                              F#m                      
The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul
    D                            E               A
My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control
         
[Verse 4]
    F#                                 B
Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal
    E                                         A
You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal
   F#                          B            
I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red
     E                                          A
The first station of the cross is just above my head
  F#                       B 
I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed
  E                                                A      
Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head

[Chorus]
 D        E        D      A   
Death and hell are never full
     D              E       A
And neither are the eyes of men
 D       E        D            A    
Cats can fly from nine stories high
             E        D
And pigs can see the wind
