[Intro]
C Fmaj7 Am G
[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7
That unforgiving pulse again
Am G
My sick pig-head companion
C Fmaj7
As much a rotten part of me
Am G
As forgotten twin or shadow?
C Fmaj7
Fur bristles with the fever
Am G
His kick drum pulses quicken
C Fmaj7
Him a specter. Me spectator
Am G
I'm caught inside his tow
[Chorus]
Am Fmaj7
And what am I to do?
C
Pull out his teeth?
G
Or file down his claws?
Am Fmaj7
You know as well as I
C
No freedom lies
G
Between his pearly jaws
Am Fmaj7
God, what am I to say?
C
As if his name
G
Gives me some holy power
Am
For what I've done
Fmaj7 C
I know that even Christ's communion
G
Wine goes sour
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7
O brother Id, you own me
Am G
O father Id, you're all I am
C Fmaj7
O reverend Id, please wipe
Am G
That endless toothy smirk away
C Fmaj7
Red letters on my eyelids
Am G
On every gristle, bone or cell
C Fmaj7
The one command for self
Am G
Presses me to obey
[Chorus]
Am Fmaj7
And what am I to do?
C
Pull out his teeth?
G
Or file down his claws?
Am Fmaj7
You know as well as I
C
No freedom lies
G
Between his pearly jaws
Am Fmaj7
God, what am I to say?
C
As if his name
G
Gives me some holy power
Am
For what I've done
Fmaj7 C
I know that even Christ's communion
G
Wine goes sour
[Bridge]
Am Fmaj7
And what am I to do?
C G
God, what am I to say?
Am Fmaj7
And what am I to do?
C G
God, what am I to say?
[Chorus]
Am Fmaj7
And what am I to do?
C
Pull out his teeth?
G
Or file down his claws?
Am Fmaj7
You know as well as I
C
No freedom lies
G
Between his pearly jaws
Am Fmaj7
Oh, what am I to say?
C
As if his name
G
Gives me some holy power
Am
For what I've done
Fmaj7 C
I know that even Christ's communion
G
Wine goes sour
