Cm
You were writhing on the floor like
                 A#
a moth in molasses
Cm
Who ever taught you to move
                   A#
your body like that?

Goose pimpled, yelled Spanish like
some out of date acid
Who ever taught you
to scream like that?

Chorus:
Cm
Maybe someday I could move like you
(Maybe someday I could move like you)
A#
But I'm not looking for a holy ghost
Cm
Maybe someday I can scream like you
(Maybe someday I can scream like you)
A#
But I'm not looking for a holy ghost

You were crying on the shoulders
of the men in the shadows
Who ever taught you to sell
your sex like that?

I'm thinking two halos
in a stained glass window
"Jesus, strangers are
as strange as that?"

Chorus - x2
