But I have so many questions!
          Em                 G
Was his colour inspired by mother of pearl?
           D
Did you fashion his hide from pieces of coral?
Bm         Em                                                      Bm
  Did the horns come from skeletons of men that you swallowed in storms?

Bm C Em

Or did you just summon up the very first animal that swam into your skull?
    Em                                  Bm
Oh, why, Poseidon? Why a white bull? Oh why???

Bm C Em G D   Bm Em

Pre-Bridge Verse:
    Bm                          C
And why would you make him so lovely
            Em                           G
Then wonder why the sacrificer couldn't draw back the blade
         D                                 Bm
Did you want him to break that promise he made
           Em
So he would burn, burn in his bathhouse grave

Black mud. Grey stone. Walls. Halls. Corners. Bones

                  Bm
This is what you have:
      Em
The entire colourful open sea
Bm
This is what I do:
      C
Sit. Wait. Murder. Eat.

     G
You don't let things be

You make angels
