[VERSE]
Dm Am
Just like an elephant memory, he comes and never fades
Dm Am
she turned his stomach upside down as she played the queen of spades
Dm Am
They pistol-whipped an outcome tossed a coin and called a draw
Dm Am
Threw a blanket on a flight of stairs and fasted up his jaw
[CHORUS]
Dm
We bang to break the drum
Am
We rub the shine, we shine the light
Dm
We light the fuse, the fuse the powder
Am
Cause the powder makes it right
Dm
We bang to break the shed
Am
We shed the skin, we skin the bear
Dm
We bear the fall, we fall the towers
Am
Cause the towers brings me there
[VERSE]
Dm Am
The petals fall forever on Picadilly Lane
Dm Am
And the children take their medicine as they stand to watch the rain
Dm Am
The wagon wheels are made of cheese, the moon is made from grass
Dm Am
And the wicker drinks the water where the preacher screams for mass
[CHORUS]
Dm
We bang to break the drum
Am
We rub the shine, we shine the light
Dm
We light the fuse, the fuse the powder
Am
Cause the powder makes it right
Dm
We bang to break the shed
Am
We shed the skin, we skin the bear
Dm
We bear the fall, we fall the towers
