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

F
I bought a grey macaw, named him Jules Verne

C
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

F
Then she melted down to her ankles

C
Turned into a million-watt candle

Riff x2 If I knew where she went I would follow Part 2

Dm
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

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

C
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

F
Let's make it clean and run out the spirits

C
I know a diving bell when I hear it

Riff x2 We're going down now under the surface Part 2

Dm
Light to dark can shift in an instant

C
Feeling close but keeping my distance

C
On all fours she's just so insistent

F
Fills my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists

Riff x 2 Bust through the Firewall into heaven Part 3

C                        F            C
Then I'm standing in that blinding light

C                        F            C         C
Crooked crosses falling from the sky

Seen yeah seen by I and I

Seen yeah seen by I and I
