Intro lyrics: Amputchture came
Philistine praise
Bottomless pit of empty names
Incarcerated habit tore from the palms
Severing the breast
Melting on his arms

Lyrics:                                 Riff A
Beneath those locks of dirty red hair
A necklace of follicles with sabertooth monocles
Riff A
They want a bouquet of black rose gems
Castrating kisses stalagtite stems
Riff A
They went a built a capsule in the cyanide one
Where the holiest of water would have you to drown

Tomorrow is a gift...
(w/heavy wah)        ^= bend and release
