Venus in Chrome

[Verse 1]
These poems are dirty
And the philosopher is stoned
(He’s not alone)
The goddess is hungry
Oh, but her priest, he will not come
(He’s had his fun)

[Pre-Chorus]
Birch, rowan, ash, and oak
Molten words out of silver throats
Feast or famine, fight or flee
Peasants, pheasants
And the devil makes three

[Chorus]
Oh, Venus in chrome, where did you go (Ahhh)
How you could leave now that I know (Ahhh)
So cruel to give and take away (Ahhh)
Appear from this flame and always stay

[Verse 2]
Nomad is sleepin'
While worms whisper in the dark
(It’s of you they talk)
The library is bleedin'
There is no time for last remarks
(So let the panic start)

[Pre-Chorus]
Birch, rowan, ash, and oak
May the curse you cast make you choke
Feast or famine, fight or flee
Be wise and let dark things be

[Chorus]
Oh, Venus in chrome, where did you go (Ahhh)
How you could leave now that I know (Ahhh)
So cruel to give and take away (Ahhh)
Appear from this flame and always stay

[Post-Chorus]
Crystal fire, diamond sky
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh

[Bridge]
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

[Chorus]
(Ahhh)
Oh, Venus in chrome, where did you go (Ahhh)
How you could leave now that I know (Ahhh)
So cruel to give and take away (Ahhh)
Appear from this flame and always stay

[Post-Chorus]
Crystal fire, diamond sky
Boughs are swayin', winds alive
Mantis prayin', owls survive
Crystal fire, diamond sky
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
