CHORD SHEET
 
C                     A
can't you hear those cavalry drums?
C                  A
hijacking your equilibrium
C                       A
midnight snacks in the mausoleum
          A#                 G
where the pixilated doctors moan

carnivores in the Kowloon night
breathin' freon by the candlelight
coquettes bitch-slap you so polite
'til you thank them for the tea and sympathy

F                  A               D
I wanna defy the logic of all sex laws
         G#          *          
let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
      G              F   
I'll let you be my chaperone at the halfway home
                             Bb    B        C
I'm a full-grown man but I'm not afraid to cry

LYRICS
 
Can't you hear those cavalry drums
Hijacking your equilibrium
Midnight hags in the mausoleum
Where the pixilated doctors moan
Carnivores in the Kowloon night
Breathing freon by the candlelight
Coquettes bitch slap you so polite
Till you thank them
For the tea and sympathy

I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
I'm a full grown man
But I'm not afraid to cry

Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine
Perfumed blokes on the Ginza line
Running buck wild like a concubine
Who's mother never held her hand
Brief encounters in Mercedes Benz
Wearing hepatitis contact lens
Bed and breakfast getaway weekends
With Sports Illustrated moms

I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
I'm a full grown man
But I'm not afraid to cry
