[Intro]
G G G G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G Windows in a silent room , sunlight burns the walls to black
Am Angles and dimensions melt while colors drip and pillows crack
Bm Reflections of my memories like pictures pasted on a sheet
Am G The ribbon film of separate frames lying curled up at my feet
 
 
[Verse 2]
G D/F# The film is just a snake design and the photographs are fading fast
F G These are not memories of mine I have no future, no past
D I've seen a thousand afternoons dissolve into the night
D Like sugar crystals on a spoon they disappear from sight
Em7 A G F#m Em7 AGray days from the crispest morning to the warmest afternoon in this room
 
 
[Verse 3]
D C And I like to draw the face I saw so long ago
D C D My image in the mirror tells the jagged lines which way to go
Em7 A G F#m The black and white description of the sole survivor of the Holocaust
G All the rest were lost
 
 
[Verse 4]
G Do you see this paper face? It has no color or no mood
Am My eyes are ageless, as . I need no sleep, I need no food
Bm I Am a king, but like a child the other children laugh at me
Am GTongues of fire, wagging wild they dance around me merrily
 
 
[Verse 5]
G D/F# I'll kill them all and if I fail I'll kill whoever I can find
F Then they'll beg me to be kind
D My eyes have seen far more than eyes can ever tell
D This planet plunged through mushroom fires of earthly hell
Em7 A D F#m I know that my sweet Jesus said that he'd return
Em7 A G G7 DBut Babylon has fallen and the cities burn
