x2
In coral and gray, in submarine chambers, one day, it swam for the light
To those that live, the cities that float there, cities and circles drawn
( )-hold
Perfect, complete, holding the secrets on my street, my street, my street
So come in and play, the song of the siren, its commonplace, you hear the
Voice rise, in one wave, and crash on your doorstep, making the circle here
Perfect, complete, these are the fables on my street
play each chord once):
Ten thousand dancing girls kicking cans cross the sky, no reason why
Why ask prepare yourself for the call of the wild, you found this child
So raise him
And wind your way back, come back to the river, the currents be by, in
Hope and then fear, hammer comes down so hard on the evening, packing
(
The dawn of your days on repeat, these are the fables on my street
)-hold
My street, my street
Heaven shown hell, and down from its pockets, and ringing your bell it
Fell through your hands; hang at your feet, the doors that won't open
Mocking the journey of our friend, complete, these are the fables on
Chorus/ outro
My street, my street
(My street, my street Layla don't worry, you're not alone) x2
end on G
-Cheers and buy Twin Cinema!!! (John Baer)
