   ETaste the whiskey on your breath
It's as much as I can drink these days
   F#mAnd I haven't finished yet
Just keep breathing in my Eface
   ETaste the poison on your tongue
Tastes like sacrament to me
   F#mAnd like a genuflecting reptile with St. Michael
I am Estarting to believe
   F#mHere I am now in your heaven
   AIt's everything you promised me
   BIt's your paradise
It's your pure Alife
And it comes to Eme
   EPour the tonic down my throat
Throw the water in my eyes
   F#mJust like Romulus and Remus
Sink your fangs into my Ethigh
   EWhisper softly now in Farsi
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
   F#mSomething 'bout a glass of wine
A loaf of bread and Ethee
   F#mHere I am now in your heaven
AIt's everything to me
   BIt's your paradise
   AIt's your pure
   BIt's your paradise
   AIt's your world
   BIt's your paradise
   It's your pure Alife
And it comes to Eme
   EHold very still now, baby
There's something by the bed
   F#mA viper or a butterfly
An angel or the magic of the Edead
   ETaste the poison on your tongue
Tastes like ecstasy to me
   F#mBaby, we ain't makin' love
I think we're makin' Ehistory
   F#mHere I am now in your heaven
   AIt's everything you promised me
   BIt's your paradise
   AIt's your pure
   BIt's your paradise
   AA beautiful world
BIt's your paradise
It's your pure Alife
   F#mHere I am now in your heaven
   AIt's pretty good to me
   BIt's your paradise
   AIt's your pure
   BIt's your paradise
   AA beautiful world
BIt's your paradise
It's your pure Alife
And it comes to Eme

Taste the whiskey on your breath

It's as much as I can drink these days

F#m

And I haven't finished yet

Just keep breathing in my face

Taste the poison on your tongue

Tastes like sacrament to me

F#m

And like a genuflecting reptile with St. Michael

I am starting to believe

F#m

Here I am now in your heaven

It's everything you promised me

It's your paradise

It's your pure life

And it comes to me

Pour the tonic down my throat

Throw the water in my eyes

F#m

Just like Romulus and Remus

Sink your fangs into my thigh

Whisper softly now in Farsi

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

F#m

Something 'bout a glass of wine

A loaf of bread and thee

F#m

Here I am now in your heaven

It's everything to me

It's your paradise

It's your pure

It's your paradise

It's your world

It's your paradise

It's your pure life

And it comes to me

Hold very still now, baby

There's something by the bed

F#m

A viper or a butterfly

An angel or the magic of the dead

Taste the poison on your tongue

Tastes like ecstasy to me

F#m

Baby, we ain't makin' love

I think we're makin' history

F#m

Here I am now in your heaven

It's everything you promised me

It's your paradise

It's your pure

It's your paradise

A beautiful world

It's your paradise

It's your pure life

F#m

Here I am now in your heaven

It's pretty good to me

It's your paradise

It's your pure

It's your paradise

A beautiful world

It's your paradise

It's your pure life

And it comes to me
