E MajorE        G# minorG#m      A minorAm     E MajorE
You broke off my poet's tooth while I was sleeping
E MajorE       G# minorG#m       A minorAm        E MajorE
To use in your strange perfume, there it is still steeping
E MajorE         B minorBm     A augmentedA       E MajorE
Somnambulist with candelabra walking to the gallows
E MajorE         B minorBm      A augmentedA       E MajorE   E MajorE
A augmentedA fly stuck in the castle web, a spider for my pillow
E MajorE        G# minorG#m      A minorAm         E MajorE
By the hearth of hieroglyphics burned the hissing cauldron
E MajorE       G# minorG#m       A minorAm       E MajorE
Like a flower dying backwards, whispered incantations
E MajorE         B minorBm       A augmentedA        E MajorE
A augmentedA potent pipesmoke on your breath below the waxing gibbous
E MajorE        B minorBm         A augmentedA        E MajorE    E MajorE C# minorC#m
A augmentedA little madness in your smile, what will the goblin give us?

rarer gems than tears will decorate your crowning glory
C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m          A minorAm        E MajorE
you plucked it like a bloom from the mouth of muck and mire
C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m       A minorAm      E MajorE
you didn't get the root, dig deeper still if you desire
C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m         A minorAm      A minorAm
the pulchritude of sweet perfume won't cover up the stench of want

You broke off my poet's tooth while I was sleeping

To wear under the worm moon, there I found you creeping

Your cloak removed to dance in your enchanted coronation

The ancient throne was claimed before a vulgar imitation

Astral breadcrumbs lead you to the jeweled gate guarding treasure

Songs from the celestial bodies prisoners of pleasure
E MajorE           B minorBm       A augmentedA     E MajorE
You have the key right in your pocket had it all along
E MajorE        B minorBm         A augmentedA         E MajorE  E MajorE C# minorC#m
The rarest music slept for centuries till you sang your song

Close your eyes and see yourself where you are going
C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m     A minorAm       E MajorE
You're intoxicated by the comfort of not knowing
C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m      A minorAm       E MajorE
Down the corridor some magic for your journey
C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m       A minorAm         E MajorE
Spiders weaving spells in every corner that you're turning
C# minorC#m         G# minorG#m       A minorAm         A minorAm E MajorE
The gate is gilt and heavy, find the strength to push it open
