Lyrics
Victim Number Nine music and lyrics by Erik Burch 2012
*** Verse 1 ***
| Am9 | D11 | Am9 | D
Little clown, don’t cry
| Am9 | D | Cadd9 | Gadd69/B
Your birthday wish, a painted Gypsy lullaby, my butterfly
Bbmaj7 - ‘ Am | E7 | Am – ‘ Am9/G | Ab
Music from the flower you can’t deny, it would imply…
| Ebmaj7 | Bbm7 | Fm
that you release the arrow carried by your sign…
| Ddim7 | Cmaj7 | Am9
for January’s victim number nine…
| Dm7 | G#dim7 | Am9 | Dadd11 | Am9 | Dadd11
Just hold me now… let your tears be mine
*** Verse 2 ***
| Am9 | D
Little muse, let go your fears
| Am9 | D | Cadd9 | Gadd69/B
Move on from this abyss, a lake of frozen tears, your teenage years
Bbmaj9 - ‘ Am | E7 | Am - ‘ Am9/G | Ab
Dante’s mime is speaking out of spite, face painted white
Ebmaj7 | Bbm7 | Fm
Mother, but a memory, altar shrines
Ddim7 | E7(b9) | Am9 - D#dim7
Treacherous betrayals, all dressed up to the nines
*** Chorus 1 ***
Gmaj7 | Cm | G | Dadd9/F#
Fortune-teller gaze into my eyes
Em7 | Am | Bbmaj9 | E7sus4 – E7
Sadness is my painted-on disguise
| Aadd9 | Gadd6/A | Dadd9/A | Dm/A
Pour out my sorrow, bottled as a wine
| A | Bbmaj7 – E7 (b9) | Am9 | D | Am9 | D
For the nostalgic girl at table number nine
***Verse 3 ***
| Am9 | D
Little flower, you seemed so lost
|Am9 | D | Cadd9 | Gadd69/B
Removed so soon into the January frost… you were double-crossed
Bbmaj9 - ‘ Am | E7 | Am - ‘ Am9/G | Ab
Heaven’s coin was tossed like pearls to swine, not so divine…
| Ebmaj7 | Bbm7 | Fm
Your nature cannot free itself, but shine
Ddim7 | E7 (b9) | Am9 | Dsus – F#dim7
For ordinary angel, number nine
*** Bridge ***
| Gm | Cm | Gm | D7
The comedy is striking, sloped field is bottle green
| Gm | Cm | Dm – A7+5/C# | Dm7/C - B half dim
It took Cecilia nine months to be born, into this murder scene
Em | Em/D# | Em/D | C#dim7
Bodies in the garden, an unlikely source of light
| Cmaj7 | Am7 | Fmaj7 | Dsus2 - F#dim7
Her name, a martyr’s music, yet also Nero’s loss of sight
*** Chorus 2 ***
| Gmaj7 | Cm | G | Dadd9/F#
Sip me like a trance with your Gypsy serenade
| Fmaj7 | Am | Cm6 | D7sus4 - D#dim7
A requiem from France, a fine year for this masquerade
Em | Em/D# | Em/D |Em9/D - C#dim7
Bittersweet the grail, pressed from the thorny vine
| Cmaj7 | Dadd9 | B7 B7 +5 | Em9 | Am9 | Em9
I’ll drink it for the missing girl, known as “victim zero-nine”
