  Am
  I have seen you in the Turkish baths

I didn't know if I should cry or laugh Nakedness has a sweet, sweet smell Which sends me down to the pits of hell The steam, that rises form the water Tells me you're satan's daughter If I am the devil's son Then into the darkness we should run #Chorus:

F            C
If sodomy is not just for animals

E               Am
Human flesh, is not just for cannibals

     F                            C
I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine

       E                     Am
'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine

    F                   C
Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table

E                             Am
Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able

F                      C
When juices mix in the heat of the fray

      E-------(let ring)--------
It'll make a formidable marinade

  Am
  If I put my hand in Pandora's box

And I was smitten by a deathly pox If I was a leper or the warts on a toe Would you think well of me, when I go If I wrote my name with a razorblade In the palm of your hand, would it still fade? If I kissed your lips would you think it wrong Or would you come along with me If sodomy is not just for animals Human flesh, is not just for cannibals I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine 'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able When juices mix in the heat of the fray It'll make a formidable marinade

  Am
  I'll roast you on the spit like a fatted calf

When you're done I'll split your body in half Climb into your redenned core Curl up tight, and close the door

  Dm
  In your body I'll dream of things

Like geese and mustard Cabbages and kings

  Am<
  Thermos full of chocolate sauce

And men who live on only remorse If sodomy is not just for animals Human flesh, is not just for cannibals I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine 'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able When juices mix in the heat of the fray It'll make a formidable marinade #suggestions for playing: sounds nicely with a walking bass line (use Am with E in bass, i.E. Am/E)
