And to the face of every criminal strapped firmly in a chair

We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul

And in the caverns of tomorrow with our flashlights and our love

        C               G               C 
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge 

C 
And then we'll get down there, way down to the very bottom of everything

and then we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it

 F              G

The whole worlds waking up

Oh the city bus is swimming past

    Ami        F 
I'm happy just because 

  G
I found out I am really no one
