Verse 1
E E 
 
C C 
 
Oh comely, I will be with you
E E 
 
when you lose your breath
C C 
 
Chasing the only meaningful memory
you thought you had left
E E 
 
With some pretty bright and bubbly
C C 
 
Terrible scene that was doing
her thing on your chest
E E 
 
C C 
 
But oh comely, It isn't as pretty
D D 
 
as you'd like to guess
G G 
 
In your memory you're drunk
on your awe to me
C C 
 
It doesn't mean anything at all

Verse 2
E E 
 
C C 
 
Oh comely, all of your friends are
E E 
 
all letting you blow bristling and ugly
C C 
 
Bursting with fruits
falling out from the holes
E E 
 
Of some pretty bright and bubbly
C C 
 
friend you could need to say
comforting things in your ear
E E 
 
But oh comely,
C C 
 
There isn't such one friend
D D 
 
that you could find
G G 
 
Here standing next to me only my enemy
C C 
 
I'll crush him with everything I own

Chorus 1
E E 
 
Say what you want to say
hang for your hollow ways
G G 
 
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle
E E 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
Hey, for me
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D

Verse 3
E E 
 
Your father made fetuses with flesh
C C 
 
licking ladies while you and your mother were
asleep in the trailer park
E E 
 
Thunderous sparks from the dark
C C 
 
of the stadiums, the music and medicine
you needed for comforting
E E 
 
So make all your fat fleshy fingers
C C 
 
to moving and pluck all your silly strings
and bend all your notes for me
E E 
 
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
C C 
 
The movements were beautiful
D D 
 
all in your ovaries
E E 
 
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
C C 
 
While powerful pistons were
sugary sweet machines
E E 
 
Smelling of semen all under the garden
C C 
 
was all you were needing

Chorus 2
when you still believed in me
E E 
 
Say what you want to say
and hang for your hollow ways
G G 
 
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle
E E 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
Hey, for me
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
E E

Verse 4
E E 
 
I  know they buried her body with others
C C 
 
Her sister and mother and five hundred
E E 
 
families, and will she remember me fifty years
C C 
 
later I wished I could save her in some
sort of time machine
E E 
 
Know all your enemies
C C 
 
We know who our enemies are
E E 
 
Know all your enemies
C C 
 
We know who our enemies are

Bridge 1
Am Am 
 
Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
E E 
 
Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
Am Am 
 
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some strangers stomach
E E 
 
Place your body here
Let your skin begin to blend itself
