Remember how it all began, the apple and the fall of man

Bm G
Wracked again by indecision, should we make that small incision

Testify to the bleeding heart inside?

Found a cul-de-sac deep and black of smoke and ash

Before the rise of his iron fist again

I've come tonight, I've come to know the way we are the way we'll go

Come to measure this the width of the wide abyss

I come to you in restless sleep where all your dreams turn bitter-sweet

With voodoo doll philosophies and day-glo holy trinities

The crooked raft that leaves the shore ferries drunken souls aboard
D A
Pilgrims march to Compestela visions of their saint in yellow
Bm G
All follow deep in trance, lost in a catatonic dance

Know no future, damn the past, blind, warm, ecstatic, safe at last...
