Bm (x24432@1)                GThe (320003@1)language in the dimmer rooms
F# (244322@1)                                BmSeems (x24432@1)to represent the light source well
Bm (x24432@1)                    GHow (320003@1)soft they speak and seem to be at peace
         F# (244322@1)                          BmWith (x24432@1)the movement of the music and the madness
       G (320003@1)     F# (244322@1)    BmThat's (x24432@1)pulling me into this
BmAnd (x24432@1)the shades of the lamps are woven red
GThe (320003@1)light, it stains and consecrates
AAnointing (x02220@1)all forgotten forms
F#That (244322@1)swirl and smoke and haunt this place
BmThe (x24432@1)girls in gowns all nurse the dark
APulling (x02220@1)it near to their swelling breasts
GAnd (320003@1)watch as it seeps to their hearts
F#And (244322@1)beats within their virgin chests
BmAnd (x24432@1)here I know seduction breeds
GFrom (320003@1)wanton hearts that would seduce
AAnd (x02220@1)grows and spreads its vines and leaves
F#Embracing (244322@1)those who might have moved
BmBut (x24432@1)now remain to drink the night
GFrom (320003@1)vials black and thick with steam
AWith (x02220@1)intoxicating delights
F# (244322@1)                                 G (320003@1)     F# (244322@1)Would leave you drunk inside this dreeeeeeeeeeeam
         Bm (x24432@1)       A (x02220@1)      G (320003@1)       F#And (244322@1)you watch them take the light from you
Bm (x24432@1)                        F#And (244322@1)you find yourself on a velvet couch,
F# (244322@1)                          BmTasting (x24432@1)the skin of a foreign girl
Bm (x24432@1)                    F#Her (244322@1)eyes are black and wet like oil
        G (320003@1)                             BmAnd (x24432@1)she ties your hands with a string of pearls
BmAnd (x24432@1)you tremble like a frightened bird
       F# (244322@1)                         GAs (320003@1)she closes in and captures you to place you
                 F#In (244322@1)a silver cage deep within her poisoned womb
Bm (x24432@1)                 A (x02220@1)                      GSo (320003@1)once you're safe inside, she might let you out
   F# (244322@1)   Bm (x24432@1)               F#To (244322@1)fly in circles around the room
        G (320003@1)                    F#But (244322@1)its always night and there is no moon
        Bm (x24432@1)   A (x02220@1)    G (320003@1) F#And (244322@1)you wonder if you are alive
           Bm (x24432@1)     A (x02220@1)    G (320003@1)     F#And (244322@1)you're not sure if you want to be
        Bm (x24432@1)       A (x02220@1)       G (320003@1)    F#But (244322@1)you drink her sweat like it was wine
         GAnd (320003@1)you lay with her
     F#On (244322@1)a bed of blue
          GAnd (320003@1)it's awful sweet
          F#Like (244322@1)the fruit she cuts and feeds to you


Bm (x24432@1)    A (x02220@1)    G (320003@1)    F#to (244322@1)you (repeat twice)

Bm A G F# (quickly and repeat four times)

Bm (x24432@1)    A (x02220@1)    G (320003@1)    F# (244322@1)
