Cm7  F9 (4x)

like whippets they dance in a curly queue dance
of pulses and ringing and campfire chants
of ritual drumming although at first glance
you thought you could run but you won't take a chance
it's not an experience if they can't bring someone along
they hang on emotions they bottle inside
they peck at the ground and they strut out of stride
[chorus]
