G C/G D/G C/G D/G C/G G C/G C


       G            Am       C             G    
In the pen with the mastiffs bred to fight rats 

       Em             Am   G C/G G
In the bowels of the arena

  G          Am           Cm      Bm      E     
I received a kiss without promise that produced 

G    C            D
Deformities of happiness

    G                 Am         C        G       
The laughter there is viscous it leaves a residue 

     Em              Am     G C/G G
Down the legs of the chairs

          G                Am        Cm  Bm     E       
Since you lost the will to hear they get your attention 

G        C                D
Grabbing fistfuls of your hair


        Cmaj7                       Bm
These amphibian days, they will not heel to you
            Cm       Dm          C           G
You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation

D  A   Bm A    E 
Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohh


            G           Am           C     G       
The heavens vomited the dawn upon us as we learned 

       Em        Am       G C/G G
How to occupy photographs

G             Am         Cm Bm       E    
She descended a stairway composed of silk 

G   C               D
And flicked her cigarette 

     G                      Am            C      G             
As I sweat through my black hex I saw you two climax in spasms 

Em                Am     G C/G G
Through a frosted window

         G           Am          Cm Bm    E      
You both came in electronics and anthemic bursts 

G    C        D
Of unsanitary flames


        Cmaj7                       Bm
These amphibian days, they will not heel to you
            Cm       Dm          C           G
You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation

D  A   Bm A    E 
Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohh


   G            Am               C   G      
If this is Tartarus, which of us is Echidna? 

      Em       Am  G C/G G
Which one Arakiel? 

     G          Am         Cm Bm    E       
This bastard conveyance of extinct emotions 

G       C            D
That we know only in our cells

  G         Am        C           G    
I labour to tempt you out of your cage 

      Em      Am   G C/G G
And into my patrol

  G               Am           Cm Bm   E  
Until this vessel lands I have decided to 

  G        C          D
Ignore all impulse control


        Cmaj7                       Bm
These amphibian days, they will not heel to you
            Cm       Dm          C           G
You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation

D  A   Bm A    E 
Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohh
