Lyrics
The Smell of Romance
Intro: [G] [D/F#] (Bass & Drums only)
[Verse]
[G] [D/F#] (Bass & Drums only)
Isn't it romantic
To be impossible and tortured,
To wander through the cherry orchard,
To be addicted to your enemies,
To have nobody that you're trying to please?
(Guitar comes in)
Isn't it romantic
To have a closet full of dry bones,
To think that you might always be alone,
To be impetuous and ornery,
To be unsatisfied and horny?
[Chorus 1]
[Em] [C] [Bm]
I've followed you for some time and I know
[Em] [C] [Bm]
You won't escape it no matter where you go.
[D] [Em]
It may be your personal hell,
[F] [D]
But you're fatally attracted to the smell of romance
[Verse]
Isn't it romantic
To dilute yourself with chemicals,
To feed your hungers like an animal,
To lose control of your environment,
To use emotions as a weapon?
[Chorus 2]
I've followed you for some time and I know
You won't escape it no matter where you go.
Whatever energy you've spent
You'll never get rid of the scent of romance
[Chorus 1]
(First two lines instrumental)
