 G                   Am       Cmaj7         G    
 In the pen with the mastiffs bred to fight rats,
        Em            Am    G C/G 
 In the bowels of the arena.
 G            Am           Cm      Bm      E7    
 I received a kiss without promise that produced,
 G7   C           D       Dsus2 D Dsus2 D 
 Deformities of happiness.
 
 The laughter there is viscous,
 It leaves a residue down the legs of the chairs.
 Since you lost the will to hear,
 They get your attention grabbing fistfuls of your hair.
 
         Cmaj7                      Bm          
 These amphibian days they will not heel to you.

 You can?t defy the defining flaw of your generation.
 D  A Bm   A  E Eadd9 E 
 Aah, aah,  aah.
 
 The heavens vomited the dawn upon us,
 As we learned how to occupy photographs.
 She descended a stairway,
 Composed of silk and flicked her cigarette.
 
 As I sweat through my black hex,
 I saw you two climax in spasms through a frosted window.
 You both came in electronics,
 And anthemic bursts of unsanitary flames.
 
 These amphibian days they will not heel to you.
 You can?t defy the defining flaw of your generation.
 Aah, aah, aah.
 
 If this is Tartarus,
 Which of us is Echidna, which one Arakiel?
 This bastard conveyance,
 Of extinct emotions that we know only in our cells.
 
 I labour to tempt you,
 Out of your cage and into my patrol.
 Until this vessel lands,
 I have decided to ignore all impulse control.
 
 These amphibian days they will not heel to you.
 You can?t defy the defining flaw of your generation.
 Aah, aah, aah.
