A Poetic Retelling Of An Unfortunate Seduction Chords by Bright Eyes

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
