Verse 2:

My Amazon six-triggered bride

()

Now searching for a place to hide

()

Still sees truth quite easily

()

Shrouds all else in mystery

While madmen in top hats and tails

Impale themselves on six inch nails

And some Arabian also-ran

Impersonates a watering can

{repeat intro w/full band after each verse}

Verse 2:

Some Santa Claus-like face of note

Entreats my ears to set afloat

My feeble, sick, and weary brain

And I am overcome with shame

And hide inside my overcoat

And hurriedly begin to quote

And some Arabian sheik most grand

Impersonates a hot dog stand

Instrumental break:

(guitar solo over verse chords)

Verse 3:

Red Cross ambulance outside

Could only mean that I must hide

'Til dusk and finally the night

When I will make a hasty flight

Across the sea and far away

To where the weary exiles stay

And some Arabian oil well

Impersonates a padded cell

Coda:

And some Arabian oil well

Impersonates a padded cell

{repeat intro; end cold on last Gm of 2nd repeat}
