Verse 2:

My Amazon six-triggered bride
[(Bb)]Now searching for a place to hide
[(Gm)]Still sees truth quite easily
[(Bb)]Shrouds all else in mystery
While madmen in top hats and tails
Impale themselves on six inch nails
And some Arabian also-ran
Impersonates a watering can

(repeat intro w/full band after each verse)

Verse 2:

Some Santa Claus-like face of note
Entreats my ears to set afloat
My feeble, sick, and weary brain
And I am overcome with shame
And hide inside my overcoat
And hurriedly begin to quote
And some Arabian sheik most grand
Impersonates a hot dog stand

Instrumental break:

(guitar solo over verse chords)

Verse 3:

Red Cross ambulance outside
Could only mean that I must hide
‘Til dusk and finally the night
When I will make a hasty flight
Across the sea and far away
To where the weary exiles stay
And some Arabian oil well
Impersonates a padded cell

Coda:

And some Arabian oil well
Impersonates a padded cell

(repeat intro; end cold on last Gm of 2nd repeat)
