Chords
[Intro]
C5
[Verse 1]
C5Eyes of perfect ivory
Match the sweetest lengths of your neck
I'm but a stain to such holy fabrics
Darwin's proposal
Bouncing back from colored glass C5
[Break]
Serpents will guide me to your hull
Slithering between the pews of pearl
I'll walk a path of purity and temporary grace
Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked
[Verse 2]
C5 To run a gloveless finger up
Curvaceous trembling leg
We mustn't wait
[Break]
C5 The fruits of tragedy we'll taste
I'll be Adam, you'll be Eve
We'll fuck and so create
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb5 I'm being strangled by his statue
Eb5 If Gb5only his cold eyes could weep
For these things that shouldn't G5be
[Chorus]
Father, I've been Gb5sinning
Eb5 I've pulled a G5fast one
The perfect sleight of fate Gb5
Eb5 G5 Goddamn, girl
Like an Gb5hourglass I'll invertEb5 you
The G5Higher powers shuddering
At Gb5what you have beEb5come

Thrust into purgatory

[Bridge 1]
C5 What is truth? Eb5
D5 I cannot yet discern
C5 Kneeling in hopeEb5 of reprimand D5
C5 This Father's loveEb5 shall D5not within me flow
I've C5fallen to my kneesEb5 in hollow prayer
[Bridge 2]
C5 How original a sin!
We'll fuck and so create
And burn this planet in our wake
[Pre-Chorus]

Like an Gb5hourglass I'll invertEb5 you
The G5only heaven I will know
Is Gb5heaving 'neath the Eb5buttons of your C5blouse
[Outro 1]
We'll be immortal
A most blessed union of lust
The flames of Hell shall lick our coattails
As we feast of infinity's bust
