**Intro**

/[b] 2x's

**Verse 1**

/[b]

No one knows where the ladder goes

  /[b]

You're gonna lose what you love the most

 You're not alone in anything

 You're not unique and dying

  /[b]

Feel estranged every now and then

  /[b]

Fall asleep reading science-fiction

 I wanna fly in your silver ship

 Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit

**Chorus 1**

 It's on now

 The days are long now

 The ups and the sundowns

 In a twisting mind

 If I've got to go first

 I'll do it on my terms

 I'm tired of traders

 Always changing sides

 They were friends of mine...

**Break**

/[b] 2x's

**Verse 2**

/[b]

Don't hang around once the promise breaks

  /[b]

You'll be there when the next one's made

 Kiss the feet of a charlatan

 Some imagined freedom

  /[b]

All the rest is predictable

  /[b]

You can say you're the first to know

 Bought a mantra to concentrate

 Car alarm or hissing snake.

**Chorus 2**

 I know now

 How it's gonna turn out

 We gotta calm down

 Or I'll lose my place

 Gotta get to the center

 Gotta get to the concert

 Run off with a dancer

 Gonna celebrate

**Bridge**

Welcome the new age

 Covered in warrior paint

 Lights from the jungle to the sky

 See now a star's born

 Looks just like a blood orange

 Don't it just make ya wanna cry?

 Precious friend of mine...

**Break**

/[b] 2x's

**Verse 3**

/[b]

Well, I know when it's finally done

  /[b]

This whole life's a hallucination

 You're not alone in anything

 You're not alone and trying to be.
