C
  When our mouths are filled 

     F
with uninvited tongues of others

C
  And the strays are pining 

F
for their unrequited mothers

C                             G
  Milk that sours is promptly spat

                      Am              F
Light will fill our eyes like cats

C                                          F
  And they shall enter from the back

                                       C
With spears and scepters and squirming sacks

                                 G
Scribs and tangles between their ears

                             Am
Faceless scrumbled charcoal smears

      F        (C)
...oh dear...
Through the coppice and the chaparral The thickets thick with mold The bracken and the brier
                    Am    F   Am   F
Catchweed into the fold
