[Verse 1]
Em G D Em
I heard the song birds singing in the trees above my bed
C B/C Am G F#/G Em
In the valley of the shadow of the sea of living dead
Em G D
I see the same old smells aboard my ship of shapelessness
Em
Meandering suspended in amorphous tastelessness
[Verse 2]
Em G D Em
I hear the happy people striking down their matchless road
C B/C Am G F#/G Em
The false teeth and the cologne partly sharing half the load
Em G D
I know I cannot ask them so I leave their eyes to say
Em
I know the way to Mount Street, but I just don't know the way
[Verse 3]
Em G D Em
I see the hollow buildings hanging in the winter sun
C B/C Am G F#/G Em
Throwing empty shadows that hide the hollow men
Em G D
The world just isn't real it's built on endless timeless time
Em
On land marks in the desert wastes of multicoloured crime
[Verse 4]
Em G D Em
The maps stuck in the tube trains will tell you where're you going
C B/C Am G F#/G Em
They'll also tell you pratically everything worth knowing
Em G D
So if anybody asks me I'd say "take a few salt sodas"
Em
If you don't you stand the dirty chance of dying stone cold sober
[Verse 5]
Em G D Em
And as I hear you breathing life's last distant compliment
C B/C Am G F#/G Em
I know I can't have said much of what I really meant
Em G D
The sky dissolves the sky and the snowflakes face to face
Em
And everything is just everything because everything just is
