A         F
[tab]                                      A
I will be with you when you lose your breath

                F                                      A
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left

                                   F
With some pretty bright and bubbly terrible scene

                                 A
That was doing her thing on your chest

                F
But oh comely 

                                    C
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess                                     
In your memory you're drunk on your artery (???)
   F                          A
It doesn't mean anything at all

           F
Oh comely

                                    A
All of your friends are letting you blow

                   F
Bristling and ugly

                                          A
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes

                                 F
Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend 

                                                A
You could need to say comforting things in your ear

                 F
But oh comely 

                                                C
There isn't such one friend that you could find here
Standing next to me He's only my enemy
     F                            
I'll crush him with everything I own

C
say what you want to say

                        F
and painful your always moving your mouth 

                          A         F  G  C  G  C  G  C  G  A
to pull out all your miracles away for me

A  
Your father made fetuses 
With flesh licking ladies
      F
While you and your mother 
Were asleep in the trailer park
A   
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums

    F
The music and medicine you needed for comforting

   A
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving

    F
And pluck all your silly strings 
And bend all your notes for me
A
Soft silly music is meaningful magical

    F
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
A
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers

      F
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines

A
Smelling of semen all under the garden

    F                                      
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me

A   F
(Da da da part)

A   
I know they buried her body with others

    F
Her sister and mother and 500 families 

    A
And will she remember me 50 years later

  F        
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine

A
Know all your enemies 

   F
We know who are enemies are
Dm A (x3)
Dm
Goldaline my dear                       
We will fold and freeze together
A
Far away from here                   
There is sun and spring and green forever
    Dm
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
A
Place your body here

                                         Dm  A                  
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine

Dm             A
