Verse 1:

      Am              F
  the language in the dimmer room
  E7                                 Am
  seems to represent its light source well.
      Am                  F
  How soft they speak and seem to be at peace
           E7                            Am
  with the movement of the music and the madness
          F      E        Am    Am
  that is pulling me into this.
          Am
  And the shades of the lamps are woven red.
      F
  The light, it stains and consecrates,
    E7
  annointing all forgotten forms
       E
  that swirl and smoke and haunt this place.
      Am                
  The girls in gowns all nurse the dark,
      F
  pulling it near to their swelling breasts
      E7
  and watch as it seeps to their hearts
      E
  and beats within their virgin chests.
      Am
  And here I know seduction breads
       F
  from wanton hearts that would seduce
      E7
  and grows and spreads its vines and leaves
    E
  embracing those who might have moved,
      Am
  but now remain to drink the night
       F
  from vials black and thick with steam
       E7
  such intoxicating delights
        E                              F  E7
  would leave you drunk inside this dream.
          Am         G        F          E
  And you watch them take the light from you.

Verse 2:

          Am                 E
  And you find yourself on a velvet couch
     E7                         Am
  tasting the skin of a foreign girl.
      Am                 E
  Her eyes are black and wet like oil
          E7                              Am
  and she ties your hands with a string of pearls.
          Am
  And you tremble like a fightened bird
         E
  as she closes in and captures you
     F
  to place you in a silver cage
  E7                        Am
  deep within her poisoned womb.
                      E
  So once your safe inside
                    F      E7
  she might let you out to fly
     Am                 E
  in circles around the room.
           F                      E7
  But it's always night and there is no moon.
          Am     G      F   E
  And you wonder if you are alive.
             Am       G      F       E
  But you're not sure if you want to be.
          Am        G          F      E
  But you drink her sweat like it was wine,
          Am                E
  and you lay with her on a bed of blue
           F                    E7
  and it's awful sweet like the friut she cuts
              
  and feeds to you.
