Intro
Verse 1
One thing I was sleeping,
Then I was taken high,
Through the veil of darkness
That had stretched across the sky.
Though I could see nothing,
I heard a voice say this.....
Bridge
[get a helper to hold your nose for this bit, or just keep the beat and do it yourself]
Chorus
Beautiful unusual sight
Heliopolis by night.
Bathed in gold and shimmering light,
Heliopolis ... by night.
--> Straight into VERSE 2, same chords as verse 1:
They sent me for the first time
To the place they call their home.
Words could not describe to you
The things that i was shown.
And though i was so far away,
Not one thing did i miss,
Safe among my friends in golden
Heliopolis
rpt CHORUS
Verse 3
And the reason why they took me is
Something i never learned.
My body lay there sleeping when I
Finally returned.
And the lover who I left behind
Awoke me with a kiss,
And asked where i had been I answered
"Heliopolis."
End on G, but only the lower notes.
