A
Drag my tongue across the sand
Em
So happy just to crawl across the 
land
A
Soon I'll be the best around
Em
I'm gonna keep my plunder 
underground
A
Hard flesh cold against the rain
Em
Dust billowing around my brazen 
brain
A
Saw off all my stinking limbs
Em
Blood dripping down my sunken money 
chin

A
Baby can you leave it in the 
(distant past)?
Baby can you leave it in the 
(distant past)?
D
Girl, I'm from the very very 
(distant past)
Girl, I'm from the very very 
(distant past)
A
Baby can you leave me in the 
(distant past)?
Baby can you leave me in the 
(distant past)?
D
Girl, I wanna take you to the 
(distant past)
Girl, I wanna take you to the 
(distant past)

A
Two thumbs across the Rubicon
Em
Slack jaw but you'll never be 
passing it on
A
Plug hole, down the drain you go
Em
Your body never made it past the 
snow
A
Canine fangs about my throat
Em
You're bleeding over Eden like a 
goat
A
Tall blade dripping in every field
Em
I'm blooming like a fuming human 
shield

A
Baby can you leave it in the 
(distant past)?
Baby can you leave it in the 
(distant past)?
D
Girl, I'm from the very very 
(distant past)
Girl, I'm from the very very

Baby can you leave me in the 
(distant past)?
Baby can you leave me in the 
(distant past)?
D
Girl, I wanna take you to the 
(distant past)
Girl, I wanna take you to the 
(distant past)
