Good morning little god, I see you've come for me again
G G/G# G G/G# G G/G# G G/G#
With the news between your teeth, you are not my friend
Cm G G/G# G G/G#
Pouring little cups of tea, humming a little tune
Cm G G/G# G G/G# G
You sit across from me, and fill my little room, little god
Smoke is in the air from your little cigarettes
You tell me to throw the fight, go and place your little bets
Shake, little god, shake your little fists
All the strippers think you're odd, but you leave the biggest tips, little god
G# D# Bb G#
Where, oh where did I leave myself today?
G# D# Bb G#
In the bed, on the chair, did I send myself away
Bb G# Bb G G/F# G G/F#
On a sleepy afternoon, will I be returning soon
Laugh your little laugh, stomp your little feet
They talk behind your back, all these people that you meet
They say time is running out, and you don't know what to do
And you hear them talk about another place to live, but not with you
Little god
