       F5              A5            Bb5          C5
   The skirts go up, before the wall  among the madding crowds, 
       F5                      A5                    D5     C5
   They ruin, Like the rest of ruin, the rest of us ruin

 You are a living doll riding the circle tracks  behind the walls of clocks,

    Bb5                       F5            C5
   Windows will roll for the crash years 
         Bb5                       F5         C5      D5    C5

   Now the candle's end, you are a light turned low  and like the rest of us,
                     F5            A5               D5     C5

  Your fingers raised, you're looking for the word, what you want is accident
                F5                 A5                 D5    C5
    And not the drag, spectacular view, what you can lose
