Bright Eyes - A poetic retelling of an unfortunate seduction

^BmThe language in the ^Gdimmer rooms ^F#Seems to represent the light source ^Bmwell ^BmHow soft they speak and ^Gseem to be at peace With the ^F#movement of the music and the ^Bmmadness That’^Gs pullin^F#g me int^Bmo this ^BmAnd the shades of the lamps are woven red ^GThe light, it stains and consecrates ^AAnointing all forgotten forms ^F#That swirl and smoke and haunt this place ^BmThe girls in gowns all nurse the dark ^APulling it near to their swelling breasts ^GAnd watch as it seeps to their hearts ^F#And beats within their virgin chests ^BmAnd here I know seduction breeds ^GFrom wanton hearts that would seduce ^AAnd grows and spreads its vines and leaves ^F#Embracing those who might have moved ^BmBut now remain to drink the night ^GFrom vials black and thick with steam ^AWith intoxicating delights ^F#Would leave you drunk inside this dre^Geeeeeeee^F#eeam And you w^Bmatch them t^Aake the l^Gight from ^F#you ^BmAnd you find yourself on a v^F#elvet couch, ^F#Tasting the skin of a foreign ^Bmgirl ^BmHer eyes are black and w^F#et like oil And she ^Gties your hands with a string of^Bm pearls ^BmAnd you tremble like a frightened bird As she ^F#closes in and captures you to^G place you In a silver cage ^F#deep within her poisoned womb ^BmSo once you’re safe^A inside, she might let yo^Gu out To ^F#fly in ^Bmcircles around the ^F#room But its ^Galways night and there ^F#is no moon And you ^Bmwonder ^Aif you ^Gare ^F#alive And you’r^Bme not sur^Ae if yo^Gu want t^F#o be But you ^Bmdrink her s^Aweat like ^Git was ^F#wine And you l^Gay with her On a ^F#bed of blue And it’s^G awful sweet Like the f^F#ruit she cuts and feeds to you
