It's just a repeat between Em and G
Part 1
Riff x2
I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul
Riff x2
The classicists, the posturing avant-garde
I bought a grey macaw, named him Jules Verne
He'll probably outlive me he's a bright bird
Riff x2
Keeps me company I teach him new words
Riff x2
I saw a hologram at the theme park
Riff x2
She looked as real as me through the white fog
Then she melted down to her ankles
Turned into a million-watt candle
Riff x2
If I knew where she went I would follow
Part 2
Walking through the land of tomorrow
Martian trinkets, plastic Apollos
In the sunshine try to act normal
My veins are full of flat cherry-cola
Riff x2
Slept on a bench by the rollercoaster
Part 3
Dreamt I was riding on a motorbike
Lion of Judah painted on the side
Part 1
Riff x2
I'm doing fine, I'm back in the palisades
Riff x2
Life's a wash, a pastoral school play
China shops and cold ivory towers
I and I make toasts to the Caesars
Riff x2
Forcing down the dregs of Decembers
Riff x2
Madeline she spins in a slow bang
Riff x2
All through the house the strong smell of burnt sage
Let's make it clean and run out the spirits
I know a diving bell when I hear it
Riff x2
We're going down now under the surface
Part 2
Light to dark can shift in an instant
Feeling close but keeping my distance
On all fours she's just so insistent
Fills my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists
Riff x 2
Bust through the Firewall into heaven
Part 3
Then I'm standing in that blinding light
Crooked crosses falling from the sky
Part 4
Seen yeah seen by I and I
Seen yeah seen by I and I
Repeats until
Riff x2
