        C#                 F# F#maj7 F#6     C#
See the soul singer in the session           band

F#                            A#m         G#
Shredded to ribbons beneath a microphone stand

         C#                       F#         C#
Felt the quickness of pity like a flash in a pan

For the soul singer in the session        band
[Verse 1]
      C#                       F#         C#
Now a red carpetbagger makes a Blackberry call

       F#                      A#m     G#
To the plastic piranhas in the city of salt

       C#                            F#           C#
Wasted wheat paste campaign, post no bills on the wall

         F#         G#                F# F#maj7 F#6 C#
You mean nothing to no one but that's nobody's      fault
[Chorus 1]

For the soul singer in the session        band
[Verse 2]
        C#                           F#       C#
I had a lengthy discussion about the power of myth

       F#                     A#m    G#
With a post-modern author who didn't exist

        C#                     F#    C#
In this fictitious world all reality twists

        F#         G#              F# F#maj7 F#6 C#
I was a hopeless romantic, now I'm just turning  tricks
[Chorus 2]
               C#                 F# F#maj7 F#6     C#
Just like that soul singer in the session           band

F#                          A#m         G#
Shredded confetti beneath a microphone stand

        C#                            F#          C#
Saw the conflict of interest slipping cash in the hand

       F#   G#            F# F#maj7 F#6  C#    G#
Of the soul singer in the session        band
[Verse 3]
    C#                       F#         C#
His room is on fire since he painted it red

            F#                             A#m         G#
There are a stranger's silk sequins at the foot of the bed

             C#                           F#          C#
He's been to weddings and funerals but he still never wept

    F#        G#                F# F#maj7 F#6 C#   G#
Now sorrow is pleasure when you want it   instead
[Chorus 3]
              C#                 F# F#maj7 F#6     C#
Just like the soul singer in the session           band

               F#            A#m        G#
Wailed like an infant atop a white baby grand

           C#                F#    C#
We'll need every sandbag and every man

            F#   G#            F# F#maj7 F#6  C#
To save the soul singer in the session        band
[Instrumental] C# G# C# F# C# F# G# F# F#maj7 F#6 C# [Verse 4]
C#                               F#        C#
Headlights or taillights, it's a flip of a coin

          F#                         A#m       G#
I've been coming and going since the day I was born

      C#                             F#        C#
And I followed the breadcrumbs but I never got home

       F#        G#               F#  F#maj7 F#6 C#
I grew old in an instant, now I'm all on     my     own
[Chorus 4]
         C#                 F# F#maj7 F#6  C#
See that soul singer in the session        band

            F#                  A#m        G#
Shredded to nothing beneath the microphone stand

        C#                             F#           C#
Saw the wave of the future through the crack in the dam

            F#   G#            F# F#maj7 F#6 C#
Drowned the soul singer in the session       band

          F#   G#            F# F#maj7 F#6 C#
Bless the soul singer in the session       band
