D And so the story goes they wore the clothes Em A They said the things to make it seem improbable D Em A The whale of a lie like they hope it was D And the Goodmen Tomorrow had their feet in the wallow Em And their heads of Brawn were nicer shorn A D And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust Em A And the world was asleep to our latent fuss D Em Sighing, the swirl through the streets A Like the crust of the sun Chorus: Bm The Bewlay Brothers A In our Wings that Bark G Flashing teeth of Brass F# Standing tall in the dark F#sus4 F# Asus2 Oh, And we were Gone G Hanging out with your Dwarf Men G D/F# Em We were so turned on C By your lack of conclusions I was stone and he was wax So he could scream and still relax Unbelievable And we frightened the small children away And our talk was old and dust would flow Thru our veins and lo! It was midnight back at the kitchen door Like the grim face on the cathedral floor And the solid book we wrote cannot be found today And it was stalking time for the Moonboys Chorus: The Bewlay Brothers With our backs on the arch And the Devil may be here But he can't sing about that Oh, and we were gone Real cool traders We were so turned on You thought we were fakers Now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned The factor max that proved the fact is melted down And woven on the edging of my pillow And my brother lays upon the rocks He could be dead, he could be not, he could be you He's chameleon, comedian, Corinthian and caricature Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky Bewlay Brothers In the feeble and the Bad Chorus: The Bewlay Brothers In the blessed and cold In the crutch-hungry dark Was where we flayed our mark Oh, and we were gone Kings of oblivion We were so turned on In the mind-warp pavilion Bm C Lay me place and bake me pie F Bm I'm starving for me Gravy Bm C Leave my shoes, and door unlocked F Bm I might just slip away, hey F Just for the Day, Hey! Bm Hey, Please come Away, Hey! F Just for the Day Bm Please come away.
