A Poetic Retelling of an Unfortunate Seduction
guitar tabs lyrics
Bm G
The language in the dimmer rooms
F# Bm
Seems to represent the light source well
Bm G
How soft they speak and seem to be at peace
F# Bm
With the movement of the music and the madness
G F# Bm
That�s pulling me into this
Bm
And the shades of the lamps are woven red
G
The light, it stains and consecrates
A
Anointing all forgotten forms
F#
That swirl and smoke and haunt this place
Bm
The girls in gowns all nurse the dark
A
Pulling it near to their swelling breasts
G
And watch as it seeps to their hearts
F#
And beats within their virgin chests
Bm
And here I know seduction breeds
G
From wanton hearts that would seduce
A
And grows and spreads its vines and leaves
F#
Embracing those who might have moved
Bm
But now remain to drink the night
G
From vials black and thick with steam
A
With intoxicating delights
F# G F#
Would leave you drunk inside this dreeeeeeeeeeeam
Bm A G F#
And you watch them take the light from you
Bm F#
And you find yourself on a velvet couch,
F# Bm
Tasting the skin of a foreign girl
Bm F#
Her eyes are black and wet like oil
G Bm
And she ties your hands with a string of pearls
Bm
And you tremble like a frightened bird
F# G
As she closes in and captures you to place you
F#
In a silver cage deep within her poisoned womb
Bm A G
So once you�re safe inside, she might let you out
F# Bm F#
To fly in circles around the room
G F#
But its always night and there is no moon
Bm A G F#
And you wonder if you are alive
Bm A G F#
And you�re not sure if you want to be
Bm A G F#
But you drink her sweat like it was wine
G
And you lay with her
F#
On a bed of blue
G
And it�s awful sweet
F#
Like the fruit she cuts and feeds to you
Bm A G F#
to you (repeat twice)
Bm A G F# (quickly and repeat four times)
Bm A G F#
