[Verse]
He's got a cDarcass in the bAasement
And it's hGigh time he found a replacement
It'll Dbe just 
like a fAirst date, but bGetter
It's the fDarthest that he's bAeen from
A careful Gprocess for a quick completion
Cause the bDomb's just 
a couple cAlicks from his sGuburb
[Interlude]
D
[Verse]
So he dDoesn't have to please her
Just aGpply a kitchen towel soaked with ether
And sit her uDpright 
in the lAast car she'll rGide in
Drag her iDnside bound with dAuct tape
Under his aGrm, like a baby or a pound cake
Set the kDnives out
put the AIV insGide her
It's gone Emon and on and on and on
and Gon and on and Aon
[Chorus]
But he's dDried out his eyes, as he's buried alive
DAll the girls that he's met every season
Keeps a bGook, photographs, his victims in tact
GSo he can have a memory of it all
But the woDrld's bound to end in a minute or ten
DHe knows routine's nothing but a shadow
And pasted sGhots of his kills are pointless frills
oh nAo
Because the bDomb's just
a couple cAlicks from his sGuburb
DOh!
[Verse]
It's his lDast night
so he sAlows down
Takes a bGreath, doesn't have to sweat the cops now
But the pDractice 
is soon to lAeave him exhGausted
And when he waDkes up she's abAove him
Saying "BGaby, let's go out enjoy the sunset -
It's the lDast time
that we'll gAet to enjGoy it
And it's the fEmarthest
that we've bGeen from
A careful pDrocess for a quick completion
Because the bEmomb's just 
          G               Riff 1
a couple clicks from our suburb
It's not aEmtrocious
we'll be sGleeping
And the uDniverse of course will end up weeping
On the sAtaircase in the corner. So, sorry
AI'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
So the cDarcass in the bAasement
Became a wGhole lot more than a replacement
It becDame just 
like a fiArst date, but beGtter
[Chorus]
So he dDries out his eyes, as he buries alive
DThis doomed world that has seen its last season
And the bGook, photographs, his victims in tact
GWon't leave a single memory of it all
Cause the wDorld sees the end in a minute or ten
DAnd the routine's just a fucking shadow
And all his sGhots of his kills 
were pointless frills, oh nAoD  A  G

[Verse]

D A

He's got a carcass in the basement

And it's high time he found a replacement

It'll be just

A G

like a first date, but better

D A

It's the farthest that he's been from

A careful process for a quick completion

Cause the bomb's just

A G

a couple clicks from his suburb

[Interlude]

[Verse]

So he doesn't have to please her

Just apply a kitchen towel soaked with ether

And sit her upright

A G

in the last car she'll ride in

D A

Drag her inside bound with duct tape

Under his arm, like a baby or a pound cake

Set the knives out

A G

put the IV inside her

It's gone on and on and on and on

G A

and on and on and on

[Chorus]

But he's dried out his eyes, as he's buried alive

All the girls that he's met every season

Keeps a book, photographs, his victims in tact

So he can have a memory of it all

But the world's bound to end in a minute or ten

He knows routine's nothing but a shadow

And pasted shots of his kills are pointless frills

oh no

Because the bomb's just

A G

a couple clicks from his suburb

Oh!

[Verse]

It's his last night

so he slows down

Takes a breath, doesn't have to sweat the cops now

But the practice

A G

is soon to leave him exhausted

D A

And when he wakes up she's above him

Saying "Baby, let's go out enjoy the sunset -

It's the last time

A G

that we'll get to enjoy it

And it's the farthest

that we've been from

A careful process for a quick completion

Because the bomb's just

G Riff 1

a couple clicks from our suburb

It's not atrocious

we'll be sleeping

And the universe of course will end up weeping

On the staircase in the corner. So, sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

D A

So the carcass in the basement

Became a whole lot more than a replacement

It became just

A G

like a first date, but better

[Chorus]

So he dries out his eyes, as he buries alive

This doomed world that has seen its last season

And the book, photographs, his victims in tact

Won't leave a single memory of it all

Cause the world sees the end in a minute or ten

And the routine's just a fucking shadow

And all his shots of his kills

A D A G

were pointless frills, oh no
