Capo 6
 
Am              E
short delay the parrot blues,
F             C
little voices mimick you,
 E                            F
it's not so hard to make that sound,
Am                  E
so watch your back, the Ides of March,
F                  C
cut your hair like Joan of Arc, 
E                                    F
disguise your will, they'll find you out,
              E
and when they do...
     F  G
look out
 
              F                  G
there's money lenders inside the temple
           F                        C
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart
             E                F
something so wild turned into paper
     Dm                        G
if I loved you, well that's my fault
 
  Am                 E
a bitch in heat, the alpha male,   
F                   C
not something she'd ever tell,
E                           F
except when she got deathly high,
    Am               E
and out it came like summer rain,
F                   C
washed the cars and everything,
E                            F
felt clean for just a little while
      E               F     G
a telephone, we drunk dialed
 
             F                     G
the starving children they ain't got no mother
        F                            C
there's pink flamingos living in the mall
           E                  F
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial
        Dm                          G
if just somebody would just take my call
        Dm   G
take my call,
        Dm   G
take my call,
 
C
hello? 
                               F
patterns in my mind now moving slow
                               C
sorrow all across the surface rolls
                               G
smoothing out the edges of the stone
                                     Dm
the lights are out where'd everybody go?
F   E
hello?
 
Am                 E
erase yourself and you'll be free
F                 C
Mandala destroyed by the sea
E                     F
all we are is colored sand
Am                 E
so pay to ride the ferris wheel
F              C              E                       F
smile all that you can feel is gratitude for what has been
           E   F   G
cuz it did not happen
 
              F                  G
there's money lenders inside the temple
           F                        C
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart
             E              F
something so wild turned into paper
       Dm                         G
If you loved me, well that's your fault
              F                  G
there's money lenders inside the temple
             F                  G
this crystal city's gonna fall apart
               E               F
when all their power turns into vapor,
     Dm                      G
If I miss you well that's my fault,
               Dm    G
well that's my fault
               Dm    G
well that's my fault

Just saying, the correct lyrics are "A bitch in heat; the Alpha Male." A bitch is a female dog or wolf. The Alpha Male is, obviously, the male leader of a pack. For a female dog or wolf to be "in heat," it would mean that she is ready to mate. It's also "A telethon," not "a telephone."
