Bleed For The Artist

C#
Ninety-nine rooms in the Pharaoh's tombs
         E
He was young and hungry king
    C#
He spent a lot of time in his room, staring at the moon
         E
And he loved to hear the young girls sing
                 C#
Remember as you bleed for the artist
                         E
He only goes the hardest way
            C#
And as you plead for him to start this
                            E
You live to hear the artist say: I love you!
              C#
So let the criticism start and blow that poison dart
      E
You never disrespect
                   C#
The artist or his art

It's such a tender heart

     E
The one that creates the art

Sixty-nine dudes just to get you in the mood
             E
I got some issues with your style, girl
       C#
If my desires do intrude this pleasant interlude
               E
I'll probably stay here a little while, girl
              C#
And now you bleed for the artist
                             E
Though it might not be the smartest play
            C#
And as you try to tear apart this
                          E
You live to hear the artist say: I love you!
             C#
So let the nihilism start and read a little Sartre
      E
You never disrespect the artist or his art
             C#
It's such a wild heart - the one that bleeds the art
E                                                                     C#
Descend these scales of hollow chorus dressed girls of angels on my heart
E                                                                     C#
Statues of males and Christs adorn, but begs the question "Is this art?"

Hey, bleed for the artist
                          E
He only goes the hardest way
             C#
And as you plead for him to start this
                             E
You live to hear the artist say: That's right!
               C#
So throw your items in the cart
     E
And burn the Super Mart
         C#            A
You can never separate
                      Ab
The artist from the art
                 E
What finally stopped my heart
           C#
Where to start?
Where to start?
Where to start?

E                             C#
We are the young and hungry patrons of the arts
