De Chiciro Street

De Chirico Street, by Robyn Hitchcock

[The numbers in parentheses are fret numbers, because sometimes it makes

a difference. Fret numbers are taken from the high E string]

B(7) F#(2)

I was followed home by a weighing machine on De Chirico Street

B(7) F#(2)

He said "What do you know" I said "What do you mean" on De Chirico Street

B(2) F#(2) E

And the numbers turned to fingers

and the fingers turned to flies

and they buzzed around your portait

I was followed home by a seventy-three on De Chirico Street

It was advertising you and me on De Chirico Street

In the photograph we kissed

the conductor's name was Milo

as the bus went past he hissed "Fleshhead"

I hyena sprang, she was on all fours on De Chirico Street

and her outline shown through a piece of gauze on De Chirico Street

if you meet me by the clock,

I can kiss you through the window

Cause you love that suddden shock

F#(2)

Don't moralize

Get on with it

B(7)

You can go now you've discharged all your responsibilities

F#(2)

N-n-n-Now

On De Chirico Street

Where the sundial fell it was oh so black on on De Chirico Street

And a lizard's tail slithered in the crack on De Chirico Street

and the pale yellow globes flicker softly in your window

as you pace the night with strobes

It's the darkest stream in the whole wide world on De Chirico Street

It's a bat, it's a bat, it's a bat, it's a girl on De Chirico Street

In my pocket, nightmares dress

I said "Jasper, this one's evil

But I love my lioness"

My lioness
