Em
E#
factory blows up killing 23 people.

F#
A#

Well these things happen. I

walking up and down in it.

carrying her burnt flesh.
G
It's a gray smell that stops the heart,
F#
E#
cuts off the
A#
F#
breath, smell of the empty body,
G#m
F#
smell of field hospitals and gangrene. I got a whiff
of it when
Mr.
E#
F#
Green walked into my office.
Now
Ernest
Hemingway could smell
it on others too.
C#
Here he is in a
Jeep with
General
A#
F
Lanham known as
Bb
Bucky to
Gb
his friends and
Bb

C#
Bb
guy any longer.
C
decides uphill and rather unrewarding work.
F
Hart sets out to beat death.
F#
learns to kill through his newspapers and
Abm
F#
he teaches his editors the tricks as
E
F#
they crawl up his ladder.
Now you just move this tenement
Abm
fire over here and
F
burn some more niggers.
F#
Chuckling over roasted babies,
G
F#
car accidents and riots
like a southern lawman feeling
D
F#
his nigger notches.
Mr.
Hart has to be inhuman
because humans are mortal,
and
Mr.
Hart is addicted to immortality.
He's addicted to an immortality
E
F#
predicated on the mor tality
G
Eb
F#
of others, gooks, niggers,
wags, human dogs,
and feeling his own contempt
for these apes
Bb
affords him a mineral calm.

He's addicted to a certain
brain frequency,
A#
F#
G
B
A#
a little high blue don't feel so good,
F#
that feeling he can just swim in
it forever and ever.
E#
A#
F#
G#
And this cool blue frequency comes
F#
from making hands tremble and sweat,
Am
A
G#m
from feeling the dear meritorious
F#
E#

poor wriggle and slobber under his boots,
G
for making people ugly and grind in their faces
F#
A#
and from knowing can squash

an editor like a bug and seeing his
C#
A#
editor and know it.

See the action

F#
dark side to his character.
Mr.
F#
G#
Hart death will not serve a stranger
F#
who cannot prove his title a gringo who
G
F#
E
fears the very word and sets up a house ruled the word
D#
C#
death may not be pronounced in his presence.
F#
A#
Hey,
F#
look at all them dead bodies.
Audre points with his left hand as virus
E
B -23 surfacing from
G#m
G#
F#
remote sea s of pastime rages through cities
of the world like a topping forest fire.
Last take,
Mr.
A#
Hart's deserted, ruined mansion,
F#
graffiti on the walls.
Ah,
Pook was here.
Here lived a stupid, vulgar son of a bitch who
thought he could hire death as a company cop.
Yes, sir.
Thank
Thank you.
