INTRO
G5 D5 Bb5 F5 (X6)


                             G5
Of all the churning random hearts
           D5          Bb5
Under the sun
            F5              G5 D5 Bb5
Eventually fading into night,
      F5       G5          D5
These two are opening now
       Bb5 
As we lie, I touch you
 F5              G5   D5   Bb5  F5
Under fuller light.


Girl, if you're a seascape
I'm a listing boat, for the thing carries every hope.
I invest in a single lie.
The choice is yours to be loved
Come away from an emptier boat, oh.


                Bb5
'Cause when the dead moon
      D5
Rises again
          G5
We've no time to start a protocol
          F5
To hem us in.
    Bb5
And when the dog slides
 D5
Underneath a train,
           G5
There's no cry, no use searching for
           F5
The mutt's remains.
          C5
Throw all consequence aside
          G5
The chill aspire, people set alight.


Of all the intersecting lines in the sand
I routed a labyrinth to your lap.
I never used a map sliding off the land
On an incidental tide,
And along the way you know, they try
They try.

And we got sea legs
And we're off tonight
Can I've that to which they've no right?
You belong to a simpler time
I'm a victim to the impact of these words,
And this rhyme.

'Cause when that dead moon
Rises again
We've no time to start a protocol
To hem us in.
And when the dog slides,
Open the door, and where'd she go?
There's no time, no use to searching for
The mutt's remains.

Throw all consequence aside
And the chill aspire, people set alight.
