blacked out on the stairs.


Chorus :

We’ve got your skinny girl,

G           Bm7      A
here at the Western World.

(Repeat Intro)


Verse 2:
---------

Ruthie will give you the silver key
that opens the red door.
Put down your jack, son and you will see
the sweetness you’ve been crying for.

In the night you hide from the madman
you’re longing to be.
But it all comes out on the inside
eventually.


Chorus :
---------


Knock twice, rap with your cane.
Feels nice, you’re out of the rain.
We’ve got your skinny girl,
here at the Western World.
