De
A 
Am 
mon smoke pours from a fire,
feathers through a room
F#m 
Wild contortions sprouting beanstalks,
fruit born on the loom
A 
Am 
Brooms start dancing
A 
Am 
Latin tangos, dragging spoons along
F#m 
To play  the man,
to dip the lady into the fire's arms
A 
Am 
Let's stoke the fire with our fingers,
hands glowing hot, burning red
F#m 
Let's throw another limb upon it and
A 
Am 
F#m 
lay ourselves down to bed
Am 
We scorch our hair and chore our teeth,
run round bald and sooted
F#m 
Our   clothes to ashes will be turned,
our bodies nude and barefooted
Am 
The air is thick with shirt tails past
grey clouds rising from skin
F#m 
Encircling bums and breasts and elbows,
A 
Am 
F#m 
sizzling a seven -time grin
A 
Am 
Let's stoke the fire with our fingers,
A 
Am 
A 
hands glowing hot, burning red
F#m 
Let's throw another limb upon it and lay
A 
Am 
F#m 
ourselves down to bed
A 
Am 
We cry in joy and laugh in pain,
a chimney to ascend
F#m 
All   tears are dried in heaps of carbon,
A 
Am 
F#m 
dissolving all bookends
