Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Em]
[F#][Em][Edim][Em]
[D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Suffocated by mirrors,
stained by dreams
Her honey belly pulls the seams
Curves are stiff upon the hinge

[Verse 2]
Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin
[Em]Moist as grass,
ripe and heavy as the night
The sponge is full, well out of sight
All around the conversations
Icing on the [D]warm [Em]flesh cake

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Light creeps through her
secret tunnels
Sucked into the open spaces
Burning out in sudden [F#]flashes[Em]
Draining blood from [F#]well- [Em]fed faces

[Interlude 1]
[Em][F#]
[Em][F#][Em][F#][Em]
[F#][Em][Bb]

[Verse 4]
Desires form [Bb]in subtle whispers
Flex the muscles in [G]denial
Up and down its pristine cage

[Verse 5]
So the music, so the trial
[F#]Vows of sacrifice, headless chickens
Dance in circles, they the blessed
Man and wife, undressed by all
Their grafted trunks in heat
[Em]pos sessed

[Interlude 2]
[Em][Dm][Em]

[Verse 6]
Even as the [Em]soft skins tingle
They mingle with the homeless mother
Who loves the day but lives another

[Verse 7]
That once was hers
[Em]
The worried father, long lost lover
Brushes ashes with his broom
Rehearses jokes to fly and hover
Bursting over the bride and groom

[Verse 8]
And the [Em]talk goes on

[Interlude 3]
[Em][C][Bm][Em][Bm]
[Em][G][Dsus4][D][Em]
[C]Memories

[Verse 9]
[Bm]crash [Em]on tireless
[G]wav[Bm]es
[Em]The lifeguard[G]s w[Dsus4]hom[D]
the [Em]winter saves

[Verse 10]
[Bb]
Silence falls the guillotine
All the doors [Gm]are shut
[G]Nervous hands grip tight the knife
In the darkness, till the [F#]cake is cut

[Verse 11]
[F#]Passed around, in little pieces
The body and the flesh
The family and the fishing- net

[Interlude 4]
And another in the mesh
[F#]

[Verse 12]
The [F#]body and the flesh

[Outro 1]
[F#][F#]
