 Boiling heat,     summer stench,         'neath the black the sky looks dead.

             Eb                   Dsus4             Em/G      G7       Ab
 Times are   gone    for   honest men and sometimes  far too   long for  snakes.

             Em/G                 Gm                   F               Em/G
 In my shoes,         a walking sleep,        and my youth I pray to keep.
             Eb                   Dsus4       Em/G        G7        Ab
 Heaven   send     hell  away, no one        sings like   you    anymore.
