Carrion, inside of your heart

G D Bm C-Cmaj7 C-Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7

Under the brine, you won't notice the dark

G D Bm C-Cmaj7 C-Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7

Can stone and steel, and horses' heels ever explain the way you feel

Verse 2:

G D Bm C-Cmaj7 C-Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7

So irrigate your heart until you know you're complete

G D Bm C-Cmaj7 C-Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7

And your draped in kelp, below by 8,000 feet

G D Bm C-Cmaj7 C-Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7

"My soul," she cried, "I thought you'd died amid fumes of formaldehyde"

Interlude:

C D G Em

When this corpus christic isle became a landed ocean blue

Again she cried, "You turned my eye"

G Em

At mentions of "no matter why"

(First phrase of Main Riff repeated for the rest of Interlude and First Chorus)

C D

And in the end an August sun

G Em

Of one by one it blew

C D

Until the devil screamed in the evermore

G Em

In envy of the grace we saw

G

The sound… (Chorus starts here making the rest of the Interlude lyrics unintelligible)

Oh the heavy water, how it enfolds
