Capo 7th fret

Intro:
E5 C5

  E5        C5       E5       C5 
Your back curves like a creeping vine
  E5        C5                    D5           A5
with the answers in the fluid in the stem of the spine
  E5        C5       E5       C5 
In the black-coffee bowl of your eye
  E5        C5                    D5           A5
why do you overestimate the size of the lie?

  D5     A5
I've seen
  C5     G5
the dangers of
     E5     C5   G5
your rising sign
G5      D5    
but i swear
A5  C5
i'd like
G5    E5      C5               G5             D5
to drink the fuel straight from your lighter
D5 A5      C5        G5
it's all inside the wrist, it's
E5         C5        G5        D5
all inside the way you time it
  A5      C5    G5   E5    C5          G5
i resent the way you make me like myself

My nerves jump
like a boiling pan
like a skillet full of oil spits,
rattling on the burner
when i stumble onto the thought
of the match you lit and dropped and set the
dial to slow yearn

i've seen
the dangers of
your rising sign
but i swear
i'd like
to drink the fuel straight from your lighter
it's all inside the wrist, it's
all inside the way you time it
i resent the way you make me like myself


can i spell it out?
should i spell it out?

i've seen
the dangers of
your rising sign
but i swear
i'd like
to drink the fuel straight from your lighter
it's all inside the wrist, it's
all inside the way you time it
i resent the way you make me like myself
