F                     F
Stamping your heels along with the drum

Dm                    Dm        C         (F)
Praying the serpent's underneath one of 'em

F                         F
Like there's some villain left to defeat

Dm                        Dm
Instead of a dance with a rhythm and beat!

       F                    F
‘Cause you've been too busy thinking ahead

   Dm                    Dm
Of where we're all going after we're dead

   F                  F
To maybe consider our bodies are worth

Dm                      Dm
More than the dust that we can return

       Bb        Dm Gm Bb     Dm
To the ground again! (around again)

             Gm        Bb       Dm   Gm  Bb  C
We turn that old wheel round again!
[Verse 2]
      F                 F
Well, even the great celestial hieroglyphs

    Dm               Dm   C
Are bodies of dust illuminated, and if

    F                   F
The heavens can be both sacred and dust

Dm          Dm7
  Oh, maybe so can the rest of us!

       F                     F
‘Cause I've seen the line of ocean and shore

    Dm               Dm
The tumbling tide of water and soil

    F                   F
And I've seen the day's fading begin

    Dm                   Dm       C
The gradient wake of the sun that spins

  Bb      F     Bb     F
Around again! (around again)

                          Bb          F     Bb C
It'll burn that old wheel down in the end!
