Gm
I'm out the door at a quarter to four
A#
Poppers blocking, baby, might take some more
Dm
I'm fucking loose, you're gorgeous, I don't care
Gm
Come closer, baby, slap me like that snare

Moon Shaped Pool plays in the velvet cell
Green neon sign reading "Welcome to Hell"
Leather slings fall like oxygen masks
We're going down, fuck my life in half

School of magic, with brooms and wands
Pairs of people tugging like hungry dogs
For bone, baby, in the house of slithering
Floor full of happy wizards scissoring

I don't subscribe to your cultural norms
My church's doctrine has lost its charm
Rise above the gloom of the jungle floor
Hit me like that snare, more, more, more

I don't subscribe to your cultural norms
My church's doctrine has lost its charm
Family matters, I couldn't agree more
This is my family fisting me on the floor

Gm
Regret my safe word, one to ten in Japanese
A#
At the party, carpet burning my knees
Dm
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
