Black Angus

Am F You say you are quiet because you lack food C E I delight in your entree and watch as you chew Am F Now that your steak must be well on it's way C E Through ten feet of intestines you still have nothing to Am Nothing to say Am F C E I made you the offer to speak of your thirst But your smirk was enorous and your hands well rehearsed You were blue with the moonlight and wet with compari Said 'we've only got a month so let's get busy' Am F C E You were so gentle a decade ago As I nursed you with spirits at 18 years old Now I'm a woman and I've traveled too I would like to be more than some charm that you use You've studied religions, traveled the world, Collected artifacts, collected girls Wish I was your brother, so that we could hang So that I could know you You beautiful beautiful thing Am F C E A kiss to your left cheek a kiss to your right I move to your third eye and you pull away Where does your god live? Where do you go? You said god is in everything except my clothes You are a player and I am a flirt But I am looking for better I want to go deeper I want to know more Am F C E You're writing a fairytale and in it is truth She is an old hag that's toothless and bruised The twist in the tale is in her last request She says give me a sugarcoat when of me they ask She is your daughter, she is your muse She's in your drawings and she is in you And I know you love her I know you do You beautiful Beautiful Thing
