CHORUS:

Dm
   Primitives dress in feathers and masks
Dm
   to scare away their enemies
Dm                                      
   The frightening thing is not dying
Dm
   The frightening thing is not living


Dm
   Scientists guess which is worse we will ask
Dm
   the medicine or the disease
Dm                                     
   The frightening thing is not dying
Dm
   The frightening thing is not living


Dm
   There's an old man living on the edge of town
C          Dm
   edge of town
Dm
   With a skull in his window and the shades pulled down
C                Dm
   shades pulled down
Dm        F                        Dm        Bb
   And he laughs at fortune and he laughs at fame
C            Dm
   laughs at fame
Dm        F                        Dm        Bb
   And he laughs at scandal and he laughs at shame
C            Dm
   laughs at shame


CHORUS


Dm
   There's a young girl living on the edge of town
C          Dm
   edge of town
Dm
   With a light in her window and her hair falls down
C             Dm
   hair falls down
Dm         F                      Dm       Bb
   And she loves me crazy and she loves me wild
C           Dm
   loves me wild
Dm         F                      Dm     Bb
   And she loves me tender like a lonely child
C         Dm
   lonely child
