D7


[Verse 1]
D7                         Am
Flash in the pan, little boy lost again
        C             G
Which reality has mistaken me?
D7                          Gm
Pleasure or pain, the old man's at it again
          Am                             Gm
With his thumb in his mouth, chipped and bleeding
D7                    Gm
Never forget, smoking two cigarettes
       Am                         Gm
on the outskirts of town, peeking over
D7                        Am
This is only a test written strictly in jest
          C                              G
Keep your cheshire cat side on something greater


D C G (Play intro riff over the chords) x4


[Verse 2]
D7

D                      Am
Man or machine stroking brass limosines
        C                                  G
Time to pull back the blinds and meet your maker
D7                          Gm
Follow the lines, you got a lot on your mind
         Am                         Gm
Have the last few days been feeling hazy?
D7                                     Gm
There's a lightness to things when the old woman sings
            Am                              Gm
And let the freedom bell ring for whom it's tolling
D7                   Am
Bottle or breast or any last requests
           C                      G
There's an elegent charm in going nowhere

D
It's a red-letter day
        Am                         C
Let the orchestra play before they cart you away
            G
The ship is sinking
D7                                  Gm
We should all settle down, keep our ears to the ground
          Am                        Gm
There are forces at work beyond perception
D7                                  Gm
It's all part of the show, the river ebbs And it flows
        Am                          Gm
And the pendulum slows, it's coming back now
D                              Am
Nature's greatest defense is indifference
C                                     G
Can you lay down your hair beside the water
