|: E                     D       -                 E        :|
Somebody's reading your mind - damned if you know who it is
they're digging through all of your files, stealing back your best ideas
 
     G                       A            G                  A
You cover your windows with lead - even keeping the pets outside
 
 
 
 E               D                    -                     E
Then you hear a moment too late the sound coming over the phone
 
  E                          D                -               D      /   E
this is the spawning of the cage and aquarium - don't wait a moment too soon
 
 E                      D
used to be different - now you're the same
 
 D                       A
yawn as your plane goes down in flames
 
 
 
  E                          D
This is the spawning of the cage and aquarium
 
 D            -      /   E
don't wait a moment too soon
 
 E                      D
used to be different - now you're the same
 
 D                       B
yawn as your plane goes down
 
     E
in flames
