Drum & Bass Intro
B
Say say my playmate
A
wont you lay hands on me
G
mirror my malady
D
transfer my tragedy
B
Got a curse i cannot lift
A
shines when the sunset shifts
G
when the moon is round and full
D
gotta bust that box gotta gut that fish
My mind's aflame
B
We could jet in a stolen car
A
but i bet we wouldnt get too far
G
before the transformation takes
D
and bloodlust tanks and crave gets slaked
B
My mind has changed
my bodys frame but god i like it
G
my hearts aflame
D
my bodys strained but god i like it
B
My mind has changed
my bodys frame but god i like it
G
my hearts aflame
D
my bodys strained but god i like it
B
Charge me your day rate
A
ill turn you out in kind
G
when the moon is round and full
D
gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mongrel mind
B
baby doll i recognize
A
you're a hideous thing inside
G
if ever there were a lucky kind it's
D
you you you you
B
I know its strange another way to get to know you
G D
you'll never know unless we go so let me show you
B
i know its strange another way to get to know you
G
we've got till noon here comes the moon
D
so let it show you
B A G
show you now
B
Dream me oh dreamer
A
down to the floor
G
open my hands and let them
D
weave onto yours
B
Feel me, completer
A
down to my core
G
open my heart and let it
D
bleed onto yours
B
Feeding on fever
A
down all fours
G
show you what all that
D
howl is for
B A G D
B
Hey hey my playmate
A
let me lay waste to thee
G
burned down their hanging trees
D
it's hot here hot here hot here hot here
B
Got a curse we cannot lift
A
shines when the sunshine shifts
G
there's a curse comes with a kiss
D
the bite that binds the gift that gives
B
now that we got gone for good
A
writhing under your riding hood
G
tell your gra'ma and your mama too
D
it's true we're howling forever

| Towards the end, I'm pretty sure it's "There's a devil in this kiss", not "there's a curse comes with this kiss" | |

| this song is so fucking fantastic. there is no way you cannot move when you listen to this. i had the pleasure of seeing them in 2004 when they toured with the faint, and the feeling of the bass exploding out of your body is too unreal. | |

| "now that we got gone for good writhing under your riding hood tell your gra'ma and your mama too it's true we're howling forever" he's turned her into (or possibly exposed her to whats been inside her this whole time) the same lustful beast as him. great stuff. | |

| I think it's using the "werewolf sex metaphor" to say... "I want to know all your secrets, the things you wouldn't tell anyone. I want that kind of open love, where we know so much about each other that we're one." And I think the howling in the end isn't like howling of despair...but maybe they're howling together, because they feel bad and good things together? I dunno. This is my favorite song right now. | |

| It's told from the point of view of someone corrupting someone else, having sex with them, then telling them how their old selves are gone forever. And now they bask in corruptness, yay! too lazy for more explanation, but read the lyrics and it makes sense. [i think the werewolf part is metaphor] | |

| It's kind of like... there's some bad people out there, but they hide very well that they're bad people, kinda like they're werewolves. And you can get to know them to a certain point, just well enough so that they can corrupt you, but well enough so that you can't get out, and you're stuck "howling forever," corrupt. | |
