  Bm
A nightmare of you, of death in the pool,
Wakes me up at quarter to three
     A                        F#
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
         Bm
With a stranger lying next to me

A nightmare of you of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hands of the trembling man
Hold my mouth to hold in a scream

I try to think to make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real, I have to see
I turn on fire and next to me

Chorus:
         Bm
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
         A             F#
Its so smooth it even feels like skin
    Bm
It tells me how it feels to be new
   Em
It tells me how it feels to be new
   Bm
A thousand voices whisper it true
   Em
It tells me how it feels to be new
    Bm
And every voice belongs
C                     Bm
Every voice belongs, (every voice belongs)
to you

A nightmare of you of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me

Chorus
