VERSE 1:
E                             A
White moon, white moon breaks open the tomb
       B                     E     Esus4 E
Of a deserted cartoon that I wrote

                                      A
Creature come, creature, creature, my own double feature
       B                        E    Esus4 E
As I'm warming the bleachers at home

Well, my nose keeps on bleeding 'cause it's Rita I'm needing
         Bb           A              B
I better call aloud a meeting of the boys
       E    Esus4 E
Of the boys

VERSE 2:
My friends are all dying and death can't be lying
It's the truth and it don't make a noise
Oh Rita, oh Rita, if you lived in Mesita
I would move you with the beat of a drum
And this picture is proof that although you're aloof
You had the shiniest tooth 'neath the Sun
Easy come, easy go, be the star of the show
I'm giving up all I know to get more
To get more

VERSE 3:
Photograph the picture, young grunt pin-up scripture
Footlocker-tagged memories of war
A mirage, this garage, and the photo montage
And the finger massage from the host
E               G         D      F
Good lord, good lord, the one I adored
       Bb      A         B
That I can't afford is a ghost
     E
Is a ghost
      E            G            D       F
Proto-social's the word and the word is bird
     Bb               A           B
That flew through the herd in the snow
       E
In the snow

VERSE 4:
Lemonade me, then grade me, then deliver my baby
And if my friends all persuade me I'll go
Blink, blink at me Rita, don't you know I'm a bleeder
And I promised I wouldn't leave her arms
But she read me, then led me, and I ate what was fed me
'Til I purged every word in this song
