Em B E
I began to warm and chill
Em B E
To objects and their fields
Em B E
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
Em B E
The face of Jesus in my soup
Em B E
Those sinister dinner deals
Em B E
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
Em B E
A hooked bone rising from my
Em B E
food. All things good or ungood.
E5
And the mercy seat is waiting
E5(addB)
And I think my head is burning
E5 E5 B
And in a way I'm yearning to be
D5 D5 A
done with all this measuring of
D5 D5 A

F5 F5 C

C5 C5 G
truth, And I'm not afraid to die.

A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog

Em B E
They are the sick breath at my hind
Em B E
They are the sick breath at my hind
Em B E
They are the sick breath gathering
Em B(addE)

E5 E5(addB)

E5 E5 B
chamber, How Christ was born into a
E5 E5 B

D5 D5 A
Died upon the cross, And might I
D5 D5 A
say it seems so fitting in its
F5 F5 C
way He was a carpenter by
C5 C5 G
trade, Or at least that's what I'm
Em B(addE)
told.
Em B(addE)
Like my good hand
Em B E
I tattooed E.V.I.L. across it's
Em B E
brother's fist
Em B E
That filthy five! They did
