Interior Lulu

[Intro] (repeat throughout verse) [Verse 1] As you lie there on your bed             Beneath the face of Louise Brooks               With your makeup and your teddy bear              And your C.S. Lewis books             Bad seed You’re a bad seed [Interlude] / / / / [Verse 2] You’re a decadent in chrysalis              Waiting sleepily to emerge               When you’ll visit every seedy need             Of your random obsessive urge             [Chorus]         All the ruses that you use         All the food that you refuse         All the dust and tired air that feeds Interior Lulus         All the poisoned attitudes         And the lust for the unknown         And the second best that devils use         To make this world their own         Interior Lulu                 Interior Lulu                 Interior Lulu       [Verse 3] Every rainy day by e-mail            As you lie there on your bed              Another virtual page arrives            There will be times when you remember me              Of the chapters you’ll be writing          As the voices echo in your head             In the book called wasted lives            As you read Henry and Anais                 [Chorus]         All the lost weekends and booze         All the finger-and-thumb screws         All the sleepless worn out blues that bruise         Interior Lulus         Interior Lulu           Interior Lulu                 Interior Lulu     [Synth solo]    [Guitar solo] [Bridge] Use the anger Paint a picture of it Throw the colours Use the pain use the pain / / / Scream back a brand new emotion As it runs across the skin Fire across paper Burn and curl burn and curl You thought you couldn’t feel like this But it’s happening again and you’re waking up in pain Tattooed in that private place Microsoft and tears Intimately pierced        Discovering and remembering You felt like this somewhere before Stirrin’ up the bed of the river Somewhere you don’t like to go You wrote this down so many times But you get up anyway and you write it down again You’ve bored us all to death with this Well who you gonna tell When you’ve nothing left to sell [Guitar solo]    /       [Bridge 2] She says she’s lonely            She says she knows me But she’s a one-way street [Acoustic guitar]   /       / She told me what I already know     "If you can carry it out you can take it away If you can carry it out you can take it away         If you can buy it it can be bought If you can buy it it can be stolen If you can break it It’s already broken" It’s already broken     It’s already broken Chords by Michael Trost (Mitch 18 Januar).
