  			 ( D) When we met it was in the ( G)  hot green ( C)  jungle  ( G)  
 ( D) Your perfect flesh impervious to ( G)  anything ( C) fungal ( G)  
 ( D) You would sweat ( Em)  coconut milk 
 And(C)i'd lie awake, ( G)  restless with(D)the heat there in the  
(Em)night 
 ( C) Dawn would ( G)  come  
 ( D) And I would start to ( Em)  feel my own sunrise  
 but(C) you'd just (G)lie,(C) sleeping  ( G)  
And so we went away in search of gentler breezes  
When we arrived I longed to lie and rustle in your grasses 
But you would not permit me to retire there  
None but a fly might settle on the meadow of your leg 
Then we moved until we reached the tundra in the winter 
Of course I longed to kiss her frosty teeth in the cold air  
But now I'v grown bloated on seal fat  
Not even flies might settle on the meadow of her leg
