I just wrote out the sax line for The Clot Thickens,
play some power chords if you want, or feel free to complete it for me.
(Eyewitness)
Dm
Still wait ing for my sav-iour, storms tear me limb from limb
C Dm
my fingers feel like seaweed. I'm so far out I'm too far in.
Dm
I am a lonely man, my solitude is true,
C Dm
my eyes have borne stark witness and now my nights are numbered, too.
C Am Bm
I've seen the smiles on dead hands,
Em C Am
the stars shine, but they're not for me.
Dm
I prophesy disaster and then I count the cost...
C Dm
I shine but, shining, dying, I know that I am almost lost.
Dm
On the table lies blank paper and my tower is built on stone;
C Dm
I only have blunt scissors, I only have the bluntest home.
C Am Bm
I've been the witness and the seal of death
Em C Am
lingers in the molten wax that is my head.
Dm
When you see the skeletons
Bb
of sailing-ship spars sinking low
Ab
You'll begin to wonder if the points of all the ancients myths
G Dm
are solemnly directed straight at you...
Dm
No time now for contrition, the time for that's long past,
C Dm
the walls are thin as tissue and if I talk I'll crack the glass.
C Am Bm
So I only think on how it might have been,
Em C Am
locked in silent monologue, in silent scream.
Dm
I am much too tired to speak
Bb
and as the waves crash on the bleak
Ab
stones of the tower I start to freak
G Dm
and find that I am overcome....
