[Em] [D] [Em] She is [A]
benediction, [Em] she [D] [Em] is addicted [A] to hate, [Em] she [D] [Em] is the root [A]
connection, [Em] she [D] [Em] is [A] connecting with hate.
[Em] [D] Here I go [Em] and I [A] don't know why, [Em] [A] I flood [Em] so
[D] [Em] ceaselessly, [D] could it be [Em] he's taking [A] over [Em] me?
[A] [Em]
[A] [G] I'm [A] dancing, bambooed, [C] heading for [D] a spin, [Em] some strange music [A]
draws me in, [C] makes me feel
[D]
like some [Em] heroine.
[A] [Em]
[A] [Em] [D] [Em]
[A] [Em] She [A] is [Em] [A] sublimation, [Em] she [D] is [Em] the [A] essence of me, [Em] [A] she [Em] is [A] concentrating [Em] on he, [D]
[Em] the [A] chosen [Em] she.
[D] Here I go [Em] and I [A] don't know why, [Em] [A] I spin [Em] so [A] [Em] ceaselessly, [D] could it be [Em] he's taking [A] over [Em] [A] me?

[Em] She is [A] recreation, [Em] [A] she [Em] intoxicated [A] by thee, [Em] she [A]
[Em] has the smell [A] of sensation [Em] that he [A] is
[Em] meditating [A] with she.
[Em] Here [D] I go [Em] and I don't [A] know why, [Em] [D] I spin [Em] so [D] [Em] ceaselessly, [Bm] did I lose [Em] my sense [A] of gravity?
[Em] [A]
[Em] [A] [G] I'm [A] dancing, [C] bambooed, in mid [D]-ice spin, [Em] some strange [A] music draws me in, [C] makes me come [D] on
like some [Em] [C] heroine.
[D] [Em] [A]
[G] [D] [Em] [D] Oh God [C] I fell [D] for you, [Em] flood [D] of our life, sweat [C] in the [G] dark like [D] a vase, [Em] the mystery
of [C] childbirth, [D] childhood itself, [Em] grave [A] visitations, [C] what is it that [D] caused us?
[Em] [D] Why must we pray [Em] screaming?
[D] Why must not [Em] death be [D] redefined?
[C]
We shut [D] our eyes, we [Em] stretch out [D] our arms and whirl [C] in a pane of [D] glass, an [Em] asphyxiation
affixed on [C] anything, [D] the line of life, [Em] the limbo tree, [D] the hands of [G] he, and the [D] promise
that she [Em] is blessed among women.
