Verse 1
(A minor) The language in the (F major) dimmer rooms
Seems (E major) to represent the (E minor) light source (F major) well
(A minor) How soft they speak and seem (F major)
to be at peace
With (E minor) the music (F major) and the madness that is
pulling me into this
(E major) (D minor)
Verse 2
(F major)
And the shades (A minor) of the
(F major) lamps are woven red
The light, it stains and consecrates
Anointing (G major) all forgotten forms
that (E major) swirl and smoke
And haunt this place

Verse 3
The (A minor) girls in gowns (F major) all (A minor) nurse the dark
Pulling (E major) it near to their swelling breast (E minor) s
And (F major) watch as it seeps to their hearts
And (E major) beats within their virgin chests
Verse 4
And (F major) here I know seduc
(A minor) tion breeds
(F major) From wanton hearts that would seduce
And (G major) grows and spreads
it's vine and leaves
Em (E major) bracing those who might have moved
Verse 5
But (A minor) now re (F major) main to drink the night (A minor)
from (F major) vials black and thick
With (G major) intoxicating delights
would (E major) leave you drunk
Inside this dream (F major)
And you (E major) (Esus4) (E major) (A minor) watch (G major) them take the light (F major) from
you And (Esus4) (E major) you (A minor) find yourself on (E major) a velvet couch
(Esus4) Tasting (E major) the skin of a foreign (F major) (A minor) girl
Her (F major) eyes are black and (E major) wet like oil
And she ties (F major) your hands with
a string of (A minor) pearls (F major)
Verse 6
And you tremble (A minor) like a frightened bird
As she (E major) closes in and captures
you to place (F major) you
In a silver cage (E major) deep within
her poisoned (F major) womb
(A minor) So once you're safe in (E minor) side,
she might (C major) let you (F major) out
Verse 7
To fly (E major) in circles (A minor) (F major) around the room (E major)
But it's (F major) al ways night and there
(E major) is no moon
And you wonder (A minor) (G major) if you
(F major) are still alive (E major)
And you're not sure (G major) if you want (F major) to be (E major)
Verse 8
(E major) But you drink (A minor) her sweat like (F major) it was wine (E major)
And you lay (F major) with her on a bed of blue (E minor)
And it's (F major) awful sweet
Like the fruit (E major) she cut (A minor) (G major) s (F major) (E major) an (A minor) d (G major) (C major) feeds (G major)
(F major) to you
