I was working shift on the six o'clock, quiet in the pale dawn.
G5                         E5
Found a bird caught in the machinery -
     Bb5                  E5
Set it free and watched it go . . .
G5            E5            Bb5            C5
Quit the job that very day, and flew into the sky
     D5                    E5      D5
Just following after this aimless desire,
    E5    D5           E5      D5       E5        D5
The awful desire, the aimless desire, worthless desire...

Now i've found causes and i've found families,
But nothing ever lasts;
I've known people i'd die for - if only they had asked.
Where i'm from is not my home, and neither's where i'm bound;
Just following after this aimless desire - worthless desire . . .

So tonight, beneath the bridge where the fires burn,
God . . . take the freedom back, deliver me
From the aimless desire, the worthless desire . . .
And chimera she waits, and i have still got this hole in me;
Still got this hole inside of me . . .
