[Intro]
Dm C Bbmaj7
[Verse 1]
Dm C Bbmaj7
Well boy, what you borrow, you will soon beg.
Dm C Bbmaj7
And pretty soon they’re gonna pay your alms and both of your legs.
Dm C
So bring the destroyers, bring the little death,
Dm Bbmaj7
Circle those ships around mercurial sects.
Dm C Bbmaj7
How cruel… the violence of loving what’s left.
[Chorus]
F C
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, such a curios lover.
Dm F C
But what my trouble loves only turns me into rubble.
F C
Below the baseboard comes the scream from the gallows.
Dm F
It flickers on the wall, the tall shadow from Saint Malo.
F Dm
The tall shadow from Saint Malo.
[Verse 2]
Dm C Bbmaj7
Now it stands forever in the doorway.
Dm C Bbmaj7
The uninvited guests in the mirror, and all of the frames.
Dm C
All the manic pleasure, to all the pleasured pain.
Dm Bb
All the tears made for another give away.
Dm C Bbmaj7
How cruel, the need to destroy again and again.
[Chorus]
F C
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, such a curios lover.
Dm F C
But what my trouble loves only turns me into rubble.
F C
Below the baseboard comes the scream from the gallows.
Dm F
It flickers on the wall, the tall shadow from Saint Malo.
F Dm
The tall shadow from Saint Malo.
[Chorus]
F C
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, such a curios lover.
Dm F C
But what my trouble loves only turns me into rubble.
F C
Below the baseboard comes the scream from the gallows.
Dm F
It flickers on the wall, the tall shadow from Saint Malo.
F Dm
The tall shadow from Saint Malo.
[Chorus 2]
Bb Dm
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, such a curios lover.
Am Dm
But what my trouble loves only turns me into rubble.
Bb F
Below the baseboard comes the scream from the gallows.
Am Dm
It flickers on the wall, the tall shadow from Saint Malo.
[Chorus 3]
Bb Dm
Come down destroyer, tie them to the chair.
Am Dm
In the Mimizan, revolution’s in the air.
Bb F
Below the ship’s hull comes the grinding of the shallows,
Am Dm
Working in the mess, the tall shadow from Saint Malo
