Am F
Well I stepped into an avalanche,
Am G Am
it covered up my soul
Am F
when I am not this hunchback that you see,
Am G Am
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
C E7/B
You who wish to conquer pain,
Am F Fmaj7#11/E E
you must learn, learn to serve me well.
Am F
You strike my side by accident
Am G Am
as you go down for your gold.
Am F
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
Am G Am
is neither starved nor cold
C E7/B
he does not ask for your company,
Am F Fmaj7#11/E E
not at the centre, the centre of the world.
Am F
When I am on a pedestal,
Am G Am
you did not raise me there.
Am F
Your laws do not compel me
Am G Am
to kneel grotesque and bare.
C E7/B
I myself am the pedestal
Am F Fmaj7#11/E E
for this ugly hump at which you stare.
Am F
You who wish to conquer pain,
Am G Am
you must learn what makes me kind
Am F
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
Am G Am
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
C E7/B
Your pain is no credential here,
Am F Fmaj7#11/E E
it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.
Am F
I have begun to long for you,
Am G Am
I who have no greed;
Am F
I have begun to ask for you,
Am G Am
I who have no need.
C E7/B
You say you've gone away from me,
Am F Fmaj7#11/E E
but I can feel you when you breathe.
Am F
Do not dress in those rags for me,
Am G Am
I know you are not poor;
Am F
don't love me quite so fiercely now
Am G Am
when you know that you are not sure,
C E7/B
it is your turn, beloved,
Am F Fmaj7#11/E E
it is your flesh that I wear.
