Gm Bb The past is a grotesque animal and in it's eyes you see Dm how completely wrong you can be F how completely wrong you can be Gm the sun is out it melts the snow that fell yesterday Bb Dm makes you wonder why it bothered Dm i fell in love with the first cute girl that i met Gm who could appreciate George Bataille Bb Dm standing at a Swedish festival discussing the story of the eye F discussing the story of the eye Gm it's so embarrassing to need someone like i do you Bb Dm how can i explain i need you here and not here too F how can i explain i need you here and not here too Gm I'm flunking out i'm gone i'm just gone Bb Dm but at least i author my own disaster F at least i author my own disaster Gm performance breakdown and i don't want to hear it Bb i'm just not available Dm things could be different but they're not F things could be different but they're not Gm the mousy girl screams violence violence
the mousy girl screams violence violence
Bb she gets hysterical Dm cause they're both so mean and it's my favorite scene Gm but the cruelty's so predictable it makes you sad on the stage Bb though our love project has so much potential
but it's like we weren't made for this world
Dm F though i wouldn't really want to meet someone who was Gm do i have to scream in your face Bb i've been dodging lamps and vegetables
throw it all in my face
Dm
i don't carelet's just have some fun
Bb
let's tear this shit apartlet's tear the fucking house apart
Gm let's tear our fucking bodies apart Bb but let's just have some fun Dm somehow you've red rovered the gestapo circling my heart
and nothing can defeat you no death no ugly world
Gm you've lived so brightly you've altered everything Bb i find myself searching for old selves Dm F Gm while speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells Bb i've played the unraveler the parhelion Dm but even Apocalypse is fleeting there's no death no ugly world Gm sometimes i wonder if you're mythologizing me like i do you Bb mythologizing me like i do you Dm we want our film to be beautiful not realistic F perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams Gm and you can betray me Bb you can
you can betray me
Dm but teach me something wonderful F crown my head crowd my head with your lilting effects
project your fears on to me i need to view them
Gm see there's nothing to them Bb i promise you there's nothing to them Dm i'm so touched by your goodness you make me feel so criminal F Gm how do you keep it together i'm all all unraveled Bb but you know no matter where we are we're always touching by underground wires Dm i've explored you with the detachment of an analyst F but most nights we've raided the same kingdoms Gm and none of our secrets are physical Bb none of our secrets are physical Bb Dm none of our secrets are physical now
