 It's just a repeat between Em and G
 Part 1
 I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul
 The classicists, the posturing avant-garde
I  bought a grey macaw, named him Jules Verne
He'll  probably outlive me he's a bright bird
 Keeps me company I teach him new words
 I saw a hologram at the theme park
 She looked as real as me through the white fog
Then  she melted down to her ankles
Turned  into a million-watt candle
 If I knew where she went I would follow
 Part 2
Walking  through the land of tomorrow
Martian  trinkets, plastic Apollos
In  the sunshine try to act normal
My  veins are full of flat cherry-cola
 Slept on a bench by the rollercoaster
 Part 3
Dreamt  I was riding on a motorbike
Lion  of Judah painted on  the side
 Part 1
 I'm doing fine, I'm back in the palisades
 Life's a wash, a pastoral school play
China  shops and cold ivory towers
I  and I make toasts to the Caesars
 Forcing down the dregs of Decembers
 Madeline she spins in a slow bang
 All through the house the strong smell of burnt sage
Let's  make it clean and run out the spirits
I  know a diving bell when I hear it
 We're going down now under the surface
 Part 2
Light  to dark can shift in an instant
Feeling  close but keeping my distance
On  all fours she's just so insistent
Fills  my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists
 Riff x 2
 Bust through the Firewall into heaven
 Part 3
Then  I'm standing in that  blinding light
Crooked  crosses falling from  the sky
 Part 4
Seen  yeah seen by I and I
Seen  yeah seen by I and I
 Repeats until
 END

If I knew where she went I would follow
