[Verse 1]
Gm                            F           Gm
The snow on your eyelids that curtsy with age
   Gm                               F     
Is freezing the stares on tyranny's wings
    Gm                     F              Gm
The bitter is hard and the warmth of your skin
   Gm              F        Gm    
Is diseased with familiar caresses

[Verse 2]
    Gm                        F       Gm
Withdrawing from splendor and royal decay
      Gm                          F     
Among all the triumphs and jaded awards
    Gm                F         Gm
The angry and blazing circus of sun
    Gm            F             Gm   
Blasphemes as the crown prince arises

[Verse 3]
    Gm                   F             Gm
You cannot beget all the sins that you owed
       Gm                 F    
To the people of paradise magic
   Gm             F           Gm
Pretend to answer passion and form
     Gm      F        Gm     
With foreign rationalizations

[Verse 4]
    Gm            F           Gm
Primroses are the jewels that lurk
      Gm                                  F    
Among masks of pleasure that flicker with doubt
  Gm                         F         Gm
Embraces of fame that's simultaneously fear
     Gm          F          Gm         
To advance and demand to be recognized

[Verse 5]
    Gm                       F            Gm
The river shall flow through hollow green faces
   Gm                                        F      
Of caricature's resentment etched out of the tongues
Gm               F             Gm
Redington sphinx asleep before birth
    Gm        F         Gm      
The classical sensitive failures

[Verse 6]
    Gm                              F           Gm
The worshipping wicked cling to the dark of your heart
Gm                             F      
Lying there and wait with your angels
Gm                   F       Gm
Moan and ravish from dawn to dusk
Gm     F             Gm    
The avaricious young lovers
