Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][E]

[Verse 1]
[E]Oh com[C]ely, I will be with you
when you lose your [E]breath
Chasing the [C]only meaningful memory
you thought you had left
[E]With some pretty bright and bubbly
[C]Terrible scene that was doing
her thing on your chest
[E]But oh com[C]ely, It isn't as pretty
as you'd like [D]to guess
[G]In your memory you're drunk
on your awe to me
It [C]doesn't mean anything at all

[Verse 2]
[E]Oh [C]comely, all of your friends are
all letting you [E]blow bristling and ugly
[C]Bursting with fruits
falling out from the holes
[E]Of some pretty bright and bubbly
[C]friend you could need to say
comforting things in your ear
[E]But oh comely,
[C]There isn't such one friend
that you could [D]find
[G]Here standing next to me only my enemy
I'll [C]crush him with everything I own

[Chorus 1]
[E]Say what you want to say
hang for your hollow ways
[G]Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle
[E]Hey, [C]for [D]me
[G][D][G][D]
[G][D][E][E]

[Verse 3]
Your fat[E]her made fetuses with flesh
licking ladies while [C]you and your mother were
asleep in the trailer park
[E]Thunderous sparks from the dark
of the stadiums, the [C]music and medicine
you needed for comforting
So [E]make all your fat fleshy fingers
to moving and [C]pluck all your silly strings
and bend all your notes for me
[E]Soft silly music is meaningful magical
The [C]movements were beautiful
all in your [D]ovaries
[E]All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While po[C]werful pistons were
sugary sweet machines
[E]Smelling of semen all under the garden
was [C]all you were needing

[Chorus 2]
when you still believed in me
[E]Say what you want to say
and hang for your hollow ways
[G]Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle
[E]Hey, [C]for [D]me
[G][D][G][D]
[G][D][E]

[Interlude 1]
[E]Tarara- rarara, [C]ra
[C]Tarara- rarara, [E]ra
[E]Tarara- rarara, [C]ra
[C]

[Verse 4]
[E]I know they buried her body with others
Her si[C]ster and mother and five hundred
families, and [E]will she remember me fifty years
later I [C]wished I could save her in some
sort of time machine
[E]Know all your enemies
We [C]know who our enemies are
[E]Know all your enemies
We [C]know who our enemies are

[Interlude 2]
[Am]Da-da... [E]Da-da... Da- [Am]da... [E]Da-da...
Da- [Am]da... [E]Dih-dih...

[Bridge 1]
[Am]Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
[E]Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
But [Am]now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some strangers stomach
[E]Place your body here
Let your skin begin to blend itself

[Outro 1]
With [Am]mine [E]Ti- di-[Am]di...[E]
Da- [Am]da... [E]Da-da... [Am]Da
