VERSE 1
Em
My bedroom wall recalls whats in my head
Am 
A collage constructed and constantly fed
Em
Goya mixes Picasso but it's hardly Spain
Am
Look through the window - pissing down with rain

BRIDGE
F       E           Am           D
Lovely labradors outnumber musicians
F           E                    Am           D
Bonny and Clyde have made their good intentions
F           E                 Am        
Pity poor Payne Stewart in a death bubble
D
But what a swing and so much bottle.

CHORUS
C
So I convalesce 
C7
And I ease the stress
F                        Fm
But DNA means does not accept
Ab
So I convalesce 
C
And I ease the stress
C7			    Am    D
Cos DNA means does not accept

VERSE 2
Kleenex kitchen towels and Teletext TV
My favourite inventions of the 20th Century
Haille Gavisallasse looks so sweet and young
Eyes quickly shift to Jack Kevorcian

BRIDGE
Uneven and tidal all with exit policies
Followed by anti-ballistic migraines 
And Brian Warner has a tasty little ass
Scared of cash machines and the mardi-gras

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3
Alberto Jaunterina unique in his field
These are the things that, that make you feel
Klaus Kinski with love off Werner Hertzog
Scream until the war is over
Scream until the war is over

BRIDGE
Shrebrunista cousin of Treblinka
Scream until the war is over, war is over
And Dante's Inferno slides into dismorphia
So scream until the war is over

CHORUS
C
So I convalesce 
C7
And I ease the stress
F                         Fm
Cos DNA means does not accept
Ab
So I rehabilitate
C
And get my body straight
C7                               Am    D
But nothing fits like it used to fit
