Intro: E–C#m– x4
Verse 1:
Would that you could touch
this angel in a clutch of snakes
Oh pretty pretty I’m aflame
So excited so unslept
Somewhat littered so unswept
You have to sleep before you wake
Chorus 1:
I am spilled and poured
I am peeled and cored
I am hanging from the floor
Flicker like a freak
through a sleepless week
In a black cell of forever
Post Chorus: E-A-C#m-B- x2
Verse 2:
There’s a point to this
A point I think I often miss
Oh clever clever
where’s your heart?
You can turn a phrase until
it reads a million ways
It makes no sense but
it’s as good as it is sad
Chorus 2:
I am sad elated
I am segregated
There’s this
stitching and it’s itching
All my friends are dead
Asleep in distant beds
At least these
enemies stay close
Bridge 1:
Take me to the pretty ones
I want to be a pretty one
Sign me to a nice girl
E D(hold)
so she can ruin me eternally
Interlude: E–C#m– x4
Verse 3:
They offered me a million bucks
All I want’s a steady fuck
Oh steady steady where are you?
Channer surf a sea of static
See the prize but you can’t have it
There’s something thankless
in a wish fulfilled
Chorus 3:
I am thrilled and bored
I am unskilled adored
All of both and none of one
I would kill for more
I haven’t killed before
I could set this heart on stun
Bridge 2:
Take me to the pretty ones
I want to be original
Sign me to a nice girl
so I can sing her
D(Hold)
something meaningful
Interlude: E–C#m– x4
Outro:
In my perfect world I’d
be signed to a nice girl
E A C#m B(hold)
It would cost one million kisses
