Wake up in the dark

The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth
C                Bb F
Spit it on the wall
C               Bb  F
And cough some more
               C                Bb  F   C   Bb F
And scrape my skin with razor blades

    Eb 
And make up in the new blood

And try to look so good

As stale and selfish as a sick dog
Bb F      C           Bb       F     C  Bb F
Spurning sex like an animal of god
      C        Bb   F           C
I'll tear your red hair by the roots
              Bb
And hold you blazing
F         C               Bb   F         C   Bb F
Hold you cherished in the dead electric light

Your face

I'll never see you this way a---gain

    Bb
You hit me again
    C               Bb
You howl and hit me again
                C
The same sharp pain
Bb
Wakes me in the dark
     C                           Bb
And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart
    Eb
My heart

My shaking heart
            C
My howl my shake dog

                C
And dreamed of death

And breathed like sick dogs
