This gun is loaded, devoted 
You postulate the rest 
Riding the seesaw

Riding a vanguard 
Cut from the vaunted 
I'm haunted, till death do us part

A G# 
We are the lurking 
The panzers 
The black as coal as night 
Stealing the stealthy 
And stellar 
Until we get it right 
Notice the yearlings 
The dead things 
The pretty as you please 
I am the regent, the marquis 
Sowing my bad seeds 

A                 G#     A C C#m 
'Cause I want you bad, ahh 
A                 G#    A C C#m
