F minorFm Fm7Fm7 Fm6Fm6 F minorFm
Mostly I never knew which way was out
F minorFm
Once it was on, it was on and that was that

The umbilicus was a force that they'd found in rabid blood, then I spin on my wheel

Like a laboratory rat

I was an electrical storm on the bathroom floor, clutching the bowl

My blood was for the gags and other people's diseases

My monstrous little memory had swallowed me whole
F minorFm C minorCm
It was the year I officially became the bride of Jesus

Saw you in heart and the stars are splashed across the ceiling

Oh, the urge to kill somebody was basically overwhelming

Than anyone I ever knew

Oh, and oh, you come shining softly to the hold of a drink
F minorFm Fm7Fm7 Fm6Fm6 F minorFm
Come as far as the edge of my blood and swim
F minorFm Fm7Fm7 Fm6Fm6 F minorFm
And in the bathroom mirror I see me vomit in the sink
F minorFm
And all through the house we hear the hyena's hymns

Of love, I love, you love, I love, you love, I laugh, you love

I love, you love, I laugh, you love
