Pure Life

	  		




E 
   Taste the whiskey on your breath 
It's as much as I can drink these days 
F#m 
   And I haven't finished yet 
                          E 
Just keep breathing in my face 

E 
   Taste the poison on your tongue 
Tastes like sacrament to me 
F#m 
   And like a genuflecting reptile with St. Michael 
     E 
I am starting to believe 
F#m 
   Here I am now in your heaven 
A 
   It's everything you promised me 
B 
   It's your paradise 
               A 
It's your pure life 
                E 
And it comes to me 

E 
   Pour the tonic down my throat 
Throw the water in my eyes 
F#m 
   Just like Romulus and Remus 
                        E 
Sink your fangs into my thigh 
E 
   Whisper softly now in Farsi 
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam 
F#m 
   Something 'bout a glass of wine 
                    E 
A loaf of bread and thee 
F#m 
   Here I am now in your heaven 
A 
It's everything to me 
B 
   It's your paradise 
A 
   It's your pure 
B 
   It's your paradise 
A 
   It's your world 
B 
   It's your paradise 
                  A 
   It's your pure life 
                E 
And it comes to me 

E 
   Hold very still now, baby 
There's something by the bed 
F#m 
   A viper or a butterfly 
                             E 
An angel or the magic of the dead 
E 
   Taste the poison on your tongue 
Tastes like ecstasy to me 
F#m 
   Baby, we ain't makin' love 
                     E 
I think we're makin' history 
F#m 
   Here I am now in your heaven 
A 
   It's everything you promised me 
B 
   It's your paradise 
A 
   It's your pure 
B 
   It's your paradise 
A 
   A beautiful world 
B 
It's your paradise 
               A 
It's your pure life 
F#m 
   Here I am now in your heaven 
A 
   It's pretty good to me 
B 
   It's your paradise 
A 
   It's your pure 
B 
   It's your paradise 
A 
   A beautiful world 
B 
It's your paradise 
               A 
It's your pure life 
                E 
And it comes to me
