Verse 1
I saw you in the film for just two seconds
a documentary set in heaven
where the hypsters roll like children
and the writers roll like dogs
Verse 2
on rugs in beds and on stages
and the singers hide behind the camera
I saw you in the film
where the children write on glass
Chorus
the sun came in like a pack of orange Spaniards
through the window
over the ledge under the curtain
on their bellies creeping an' bending
Verse 3
balls of string coiled like springs
hang down from the symbol stands
and in your hands I sleep just like a drummer
and wake up with the thunder... of your typewriter... every night
| | x2
Verse 4
well everyday a prayer goes on its knees
I will quit the whites, the wine and the weed
falls to its belly
and crawls towards New York
Verse 5
I saw you in the film for just two seconds
on a subway car drifting like a question
from earth to the street to the bridge in the east
where the green man wears a hat
Chorus
the sun came in like a pack of orange Spaniards
through the window
over the ledge under the curtain
on their bellies creeping an' bending
balls of string coiled like springs
hang down from the symbol stands
and in your hands i sleep just like a drummer
(start muting and strum gently)
and wake up with the thunder
(just like a drummer)
of your typewriter
(wake up with the thunder)
just like a drummer
(of your typewriter)
i wake up with the thunder
(just like a drummer)
A [start "unmuting" and strum harder and harder]

of your typewriter
(wake up with the thunder)
A [no mute]
just like a drummer
