[Verse]
Em D G
It looks like I've been thrown In to the belly of the beast,
C G D B
Sky scraping blades of broken bone make up her teeth
Em D G
Her belly rumbles like a train on the subways underneath
C G D B
And she screams like braking steel on its wheels.
[Chorus]
C G B Em
I quiver like a kite that's pulling tight against its string
D C G B Em
I cower and creep just like the cockroaches that tremble at my feet
D C G B Em
There must have been a siren singing, left me longing to stay in,
D C G
As I struggle to see,
C B D Em
how there could be, any beauty in this beast.
Em D G C G D B
[Verse]
Em D G
All I see is cinder blocks, capping clouds like bottle tops.
C G D B
Bathed fluorescently in light that never stops.
Em D G
So with the moths out on parade, I follow on their escalade
C G D B
To see the fuss this reptile's reputation made.
[Chorus]
C G B Em
I quiver like the feathers of the sky rats in the wind
D C G B Em
I cower and creep just like the rodents seeking refuge from the streets
D C G B Em
There must have been a siren singing, left me longing to stay in,
D C G
As I slowly came to see,
C B D Em
how there could be, any beauty in this beast.
