Arc of Time B You can make a plan F# Carve it into stone E Like a feather falling B It is still unknown B Until the clock speaks up F# Says it's time to go E You could choose the high B Or the lower road B You might clinch your fist F# You might fork your tongue E As you curse or praise B All the things you've done B And the faders move F# And the music dies E As we pass over B On the arc of time E So you nurse your love F# Like a wounded dove B E In the covered cage of night E Every star is crossed F# By phrenetic thoughts B E That seperate and then collide E And they twist like sheets F# Till you fall asleep B E And they finally unwind E It's a black balloon F# B It's a dream you'll soon deny B I hear if you make friends C#m With Jesus Christ E You will get right up B From that chalk outline B And then you'll get dolled up F# And you'll dress in white E All to take your place B In his chorus line E And then in you'll come F# With those marching drums B E In a saintly compromise E No more whiskey slurs F# No more blonde haired girls B E For your whole eternal life E And you'll do the dance F# That was choreographed B E At the very dawn of time E Saying, I told you son F# The day would come B You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die B You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die B You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die B You would die, you'd die, you'd die E To the deepest part F# Of the human heart B E The fear of death expands E Till we crack the code F# We have always known B E But could never understand E On a circuit board F# We will soon be born B Again, again, again, again B And again, again, again, again B And again, again, again, again B And again, again, again
