	She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street  
            D                          E  
	I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet  
           A                              F#m  
	We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan  
             D                               E             A

	I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today  
            E                                               A    
	Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way  
              F#                                B  
	She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you  
             E                                                A  
	This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two

          D        E        D      A     
	Death and hell are never full  
              D              E       A  
	And neither are the eyes of men  
          D       E        D            A      
	Cats can fly from nine stories high  
                      E        D  
	And pigs can see the wind

          A                            F#m  
	She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor  
              D                        E  
	Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door  
          A                              F#m                        
	The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul  
             D                            E               A  
	My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control

             F#                                 B  
	Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal  
             E                                         A  
	You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal  
            F#                          B              
	I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red  
              E                                          A  
	The first station of the cross is just above my head  
           F#                       B   
	I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed  
           E                                                A        
	Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head
