Guitars play these chords: E    A    E    A    E    A    E    A


to the center of the Earth   or anywhere God decides
                     E          A              E          A

for the fever pulling forth    we hear our call as all

                 F  F/E  F  F/E  A2  G             F  F/E  F  F/E A2  G

DNA is reching out                     to your frequency
         F  F/E  F  F/E  A  G                         E          A

I want to live              I don't want to die

all the prayers                    prayer in all

A     E     A    E     A     E     A     E     A     E     A     E

black rooms are calling         to men in leather coats
      A                 E                 A                 E  

white lambs are cooking            up the silver ghost

the glass migrates under               a translucent skin

and all the spiders wonder           what we've got us in
            A                 E                 A

The Ghost Children:

D          E          D          E          D

so beats the final coda          of our vinyl storm
                           E                           D               

one more cherry cola          to lift up her dead arms
                        E                                 D

a dream of soft focus sunsets          filters thru the din
                                 E                             D

we are losing contact          as she dials it in
                         E                           D

she can hear Glass calling          or is it someone    
                   E          D                         E      

that looks like him
                       D

she eyes TV reflection          and nods a knowing look
                          E                                D

she says it doesn't matter          she never liked her looks
                              E                                  D 

I have seen a thousand fractures          I have seen everything
                       E            D                 E             D  

cause knowing is it's own answer          love something in a book
                                    E                                 D

there's not much left to ponder          not much left to cook
                                   E                              D

as she counted the spiders          as they crawled up inside her
                              E                                      D


as she counted the spiders          as they crawled up inside her
                              E                                      D

as she counted the spiders          as they crawled up inside her
       E                      B                                      D                            
as she counted the spiders          as they crawled up inside her
       E                      B                                      D 

as she counted the spiders          as they crawled up inside her
       E                      B                                      D 

as she counted the spiders                                  
       E                      B
