Five, ten years, and I A (x4) C (x4) guess we've changed, and we'd A (x4) C (x4) run into each other in the subterranean D (x8) world... With the extras in their fright wigs and fins F (x8) on their way from funkhole to dugout... and D (x8) one night would keel over into another, and there never would seem to be a day, and F (x8) hey, you used to say you were polishing up on your survival tactics D (x8) (techinques) for the end of the world... and C (x4) A# (x4) you, you used to dig your beak into my ear and say "nothing" F (x4) A# (x4) like a secret... D(Gbass) (x4) C(Fbass) (x4) D(Gbass) (x4) C(Fbass) (x4) How long have we known each other now? Fifteen, twenty years maybe, and C (x4) A# (x4) certainly we've changed... and we'd C (x4) A# (x4) run into each other in the subterranean D (x8) world... C (x8) And before I knew you or before we met oh yes, way before then I was D (x8) itching in the cradle, making my way to the slime pits & the sludge traps F (x8) looking for love... and D (x8) all the bushy brats turned out from the western burgs C (x8) minced in the powdermills, noctambulating around D (x8) nowheresville D (x8) and some were so desperate for sleep the only retreat was the C (x4) A# (x4) F (x4) A# (x4) sad dormitory... yes, one would go for a rest (or a test?) D(Gbass) (x4) C(Fbass) (x4) D(Gbass) (x4) C(Fbass) (x4) How long have we known each other now? up to thirty years I guess, and C (x4) A# (x4) maybe we've changed... and C (x4) A# (x4) didn't we see each other in the subterranean D (x8) world? F (x8) You, did you really have your headress? - Hmmm.... yes I used to dress up D (x8) like a girl, and how did you ever make it back home? I... I... F (x8) I'd leave a trail of pearls. Did you ever see a doctor - or a priest? D (x8) oh yeah - a priest D (x8) do you remember the guy with the sign "the end is nigh"? That was F (x8) me (do you remember what was written on the back?) D (x8) and F (x8) Do remember the guy with a boxful of wind? or maybe it was a cassette D (x8) I don't really... I don't know either - or was it me? C (x4) A# (x4) F (x4) A# (x4) D (x8) F (x8) How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life (forty years?) D (x8) F (x8) How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life (fifty years) C (x8) A# (x8) How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life (sixty, seventy, eighty three years) C (x4) A# (x4) I hope that we've changed... and C (x4) A# (x4) we've never seen each other in the subterranean A (x8) C (x8) D (finish) life...
