Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat, In a sea of fear...
And where are you?
They brought in the CIA,
The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away, To blow me sky high...

Am                        Am
Rows of houses all bearing down on me
Am                    Am
I can feel their blue hands touching me
Em
All these things in all positions
Em                                                                                  Am
All these things we'll one day swallow whole _______
Cm             Em    Am
And fade out again
Cm             Em
And fade out

Am
This machine will
Am
Will not communicate
Am
These thoughts
                               Am
And the strain i am under
Em                                               Em
Be a world child form a circle before we all
Am
Go under
C                Em  Am
And fade out again
C                Em  Am
And fade out again

C            Em            Am
oooh...    oooh... oooh...
C            Em
oooh... oooh
Am
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Am
Scream as they fight for life
Am                         Am
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
Em
All these things into frution
Em                                                                               Am
All these things we'll one day swallow whole________
C                Em   Am
And fade out again
C                Em  Am
And fade out again

C                Em               Am
Immerse your soul in love
