A (x02220@1)                            DDo (xx0232@1)you wonder where the self resides
                         AIs (x02220@1)it in your head or between your sides

                            AThe (x02220@1)thought of tongues that taste you back

            D (xx0232@1)                             
And you can shoot right through it with rays of dark matter
       EJust (022100@1)before they kick out,
                  A (x02220@1)      Dthey (xx0232@1)kick out the ladder
