  These are the red-eyed politics, the cocktail revisionists
War room rules: no wives or kids, here men sing the boy in them
The hedge casts heroes late across our lawn
The valley hunt militiamen, all gone
Thought we had the lock in '54
Now the maid owns the house next door
And what's more


Chorus (same as first)
Swims in the pool she used to clean
Our new king looks like a queen
Leave me


Bridge (same as first)
The empire's melting like ice cream
On the altar of the sun
This skin we've stretched for centuries
It's faded, it's fraying, it's meaningless to me

I'm not really sure about the intro. Blake plays alot of random notes
(that are in the same key). But it should be easy to figure out if
you play it kind of sloppy and improvise with it.
