F#mI watch the work of my C#9kin bold and F#mboyful
F#mToying somewhere between C#9love and aF#mbuse
ECalling to join them the Awretched and joyful
F#mShaking the wings of their C#9terrible F#myouths
[Verse 2]
F#mFreshly disowned in some C#9frozen deF#mvotion
F#mNo more alone or myC#9self could I F#mbe
ELurched like a stray to the Aarms that were open
No F#mshortage of sordid, no C#9protest from F#mme
[Chorus]
With her F#msweetened breath, and her Atongue so mean
She's the Eangel of small death and the F#mcodeine scene
With her F#mstraw-blonde hair, her Aarms hard and lean
She's the Eangel of small death and the F#mcodeine scene
[Verse 3]
F#mFeeling more human and C#9hooked on her F#mflesh, I
F#mLay my heart down with the C#9rest at her F#mfeet
EFresh from the fields, all Afetor and fertile
F#mIt's bloody and raw, but I C#9swear it is F#msweet
[Chorus]
With her F#msweetened breath, and her Atongue so mean
