E E C C
Oh comely
D D E E
I will be with you when you lose your breath
C C D D E E
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left
C C
With some pretty bright and bubbly terrible scene
D D E E
That was doing her thing on your chest
C C
But oh comely
G G
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess

In your memory you're drunk on your awe to me
C C E E
It doesn't mean anything at all

E E C C
Oh comely
D D E E
All of your friends are letting you blow
C C
Bristling and ugly
D D E E
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
C C
Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend
D D E E
You could need to say comforting things in your ear
C C
But oh comely
G G
There isn't such one friend that you could find here

Standing next to me

Only my enemy
C C
I'll crush him with everything I own
E E
say what you want to say
G G
and hang for your hollow ways moving your mouth
E E C C D D G G D D G G D D G G D D E E
to pull out all your miracles aimed for me


E E
Your father made fetuses

With flesh licking ladies
C C
While you and your mother
D D
Were asleep in the trailer park
E E
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
C C
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
D D E E
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
C C
And pluck all your silly strings
D D
And bend all your notes for me
E E
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
C C
The movements were beautiful
D D
All in your ovaries
E E
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
C C D D
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
E E
Smelling of semen all under the garden
C C D D
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me
E E
Say what you wanna say and hang for your hollow ways
G G E E C C D D G G D D G G D D G G D D E E
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracles aimed for me

E E C C
Da da da da da da da
E E C C
Da da da da da da da
E E C C
Da da da da da da da

E E
I know they buried her body with others
C C D D
Her sister and mother and 500 families
E E
And will she remember me 50 years later
C C D D
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
E E
Know all your enemies
C C
We know who are enemies are
E E
Know all your enemies
C C
We know who are enemies are


Am Am
La la la la la la la la la la la
E E
La la la la la la
Am Am
La la la la la la la la la la la
E E
La la la la la la
Am Am
La la la la la la la la dee dee dee
E E
Dee dee dee dee dee dee


Am Am
Goldaline my dear

We will fold and freeze together
E E
Far away from here

There is sun and spring and green forever
Am Am
But now we move to feel

For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
E E
Place your body here
Am Am E E
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine

Am Am
dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee la da da
E E
da da da da da da
Am Am
da da da da da da da da da la da da
E E Am Am
da da da da da da da da da
