A Poetic Retelling Of An Unfortunate Seduction
Bright Eyes
Text File
Bm Am
The language in the dimmer rooms
F Am
Seems to represent the light source well
Bm Am
How soft they speak and seem to be at peace
F Am
With the movement of the music and the madness
F Bm G
That is pulling me into this
F
And the shades of the lamps are woven red
Am
The light, it stains and consecrates
Bm
Anointing all forgotten forms
G
That swirl and smoke and haunt this place
F
The girls in gowns all nurse the dark
Am
Pulling it near to their swelling breasts
Bm
And watch as it seeps to their hearts
G
And beats within their virgin chests
And here I know seduction breeds same all
throght here
From wanton hearts that would seduce just
follow the pattern
And grows and spreads its vine and leaves
Embracing those who might have moved
But now remain to drink the night
From vials black and thick with steam
Such intoxicating delights
That leave you drunk inside this dream
F,Am,G,Bm
And you watch them take the light from you
Bm
And you find yourself
Am
On a velvet couch
F Bm
Tasting the skin of a foreign girl
Bm
Her eyes are black
Am
And wet like oil
F Bm
And she ties your hands with a string of pearls
Bm
And you tremble like a frightened bird
Am
As she closes in and captures you
F
To place you in the silver cage
G
Deep within her poisoned womb
Bm
And once you're safe inside
Am G
She might let you out to fly
F Am
In the circles around the room
F
But it's always night
Am Bm
And there is no moon
F Am G Bm
And you wonder if you are alive
F Am G Bm
And you're not sure if you want to be
F Am G Bm
But you drank her sweat like it was wine
F
And you lay with her on a bed of blue
Am
And it's awful sweet
G Bm
Like the fruit she cuts and feeds to you
F Am Bm to you F Am
