E                            B
don't you cherish me to sleep
E                         B
never keep your eyelids clipped
G#m                       F#
hold me for the pops and clicks
            E                 B E G#m
I was only for the father's crib

G#m         B
hair, old, long along
       E                           B
your neck onto your shoulder blades
C#m                       B
always keep that message taped
G#m                          F#
cross your breasts you won't erase
      E                    B
I was only for your very space

Hip, under nothing
Propped up by your other one, face 'way from the sun
Just have to keep a dialogue
Teach our bodies: haunt the cause
I was only trying to spell a loss

Joy, it's all founded
Pincher with the skin inside, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You pinned me with your black sphere eyes
You know that all the rope's untied
I was only for to die beside

So it's storming on the lake
Little waves our bodies break
There's a fire going out
But there's really nothing to the south
Swollen orange and light let through
Your one-piece swimmer stuck to you

Sold, I'm ever
Open ears and open eyes, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Wake up to your starboard bride
Who goes in and then stays inside
Oh, the demons come, they can subside
