[Verse 1]
Dsus2 Em
Drag my tongue across the sand
Am
So happy just to crawl across the land
Dsus2 Em
Soon I'll be the best around
Am
I'm gonna keep my plunder underground
Dsus2 Em
Hard flesh, cold against the rain
Am
Dust billowing around my brazen brain
Dsus2 Em
Saw off all my stinking limbs
Am
Blood dripping down my sunken monkey chin

[Verse 2]
Dsus2 Em Am
Two thumbs, I cross the Rubicon - Slack-jawed, but you'll never be passing it on
Dsus2 Em Am
Plug hole, down the drain you go - Your body never made it past the snow
Dsus2 Em Am
Canine fangs up out my throat - You're bleeding over Eden like a goat
Dsus2 Em Am
Tall blade, a Triffid in every field - I'm blooming like a fuming human shield
[Pre Chorus]
