*build up*

Dm, F
(repeat for these four verses)

I remember the day that I walked away from this empty flight
Cause the demons are really the ones when there's nothing on
Would slip by when I'm silent I have to let so many people down
But the bell from the ice cream man comes to save the day

The winter comes we do not wander, I belong
The chocolate shakes, the sun awakes, I play ping pong
The autumn clouds distort and crowd the petal lawn
I pulled the glass it dripped too fast for second dawn

Since we passed through the maze as we unlock the stage of my other ride
I remember the shining, the spot on the day she played
Though I never knew Moses I know many noses with thoughts like me
Take a drive to the Jacksonville pharmacy and pretend

But a new apartment and a heart don't make me old
This is spinal rage and lit a page and I've been told
But I'm walking on a wire with eight other eyes
Be sure to play the best of you eight other sides

Well that's funny! My voice didn't come back to me!
I'll try it again:
Hello? Hello? Oh my goodness!
Now my singing voice has gone!
my singing voice has gone!
my singing voice has gone!
my singing voice has gone!
my singing voice has gone!
