Strum
D-DU-UDU
Sometimes  the windmills combine with the suns in a way
That  twitches on  a picketed place where the spirits lay, hey
One  thing  leads  to  another, nights for sleep blue curtains cover
Sequins  in  the eyes, that's a fine time to dine
Divine  hair circling feeding the cards to the midwives
Love  those  alien days, the nonstop alien days
Oh, the  alien days
 ==PART A'==
Must  have  scared the ship in joining the team for a ride.
A  couple  of hours  to learn the controls and commandeer both my eyes, hey
Be quick dear,  times  are uncertain, one month crawling, next year blurring
Decades  in  the drain, monograms on the brain
Decide  what's working and what's moved on to the
last  phase.  The floodgate alien days, I love those alien days
Oh, the  alien days
 ==PART B==
When  the piers  are down the ears are traveling in style.
You  don't need  wings to hover forty ton stones for a mile
And in  the  summer,  virgin fishes, mindless humming, thunders can't decide
If the  day's  supposed  to smile
 (synth line:
 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
 AGA-F-GD -------- AbGAb--GDb  ------ )

 FEF-AGAD ---AFDA-  F-G  E[Ab] [Bb] [C#]--)
 ==PART A''==
Today I  finally found ways it could be any worse.
It's  a blessing  and it's also a curse
 ==PART '==
Those days  taught me everything I know
How  to  catch  your feeling and when to let it go
How all the skinny  soulless creatures campfire dreamers humming in the
hive, if it's right  beneath the nose
And  when the  light is new the skies show strangling cartoons
You  don't  need smoke to cover most of the world in a gloom but
Here  comes  Lucy  and her servant, watch white feathers, ripping out the
lines,  if  it  looks  like we could lose
If it looks  like  we could lose
If it looks  like  we could lose
If it looks  like  we could lose
(synth line:
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
