A ||----(2)-2---2---2---2---2---2----|

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
