Standard (EADGBE)

Like a rock, like a planet

Like a fucking atom bomb

 I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness

 that I encounter everywhere I turn,

 I've seen it all before,

 in books and magazines,

 like a twitch before dying,

 like a pornographic sea,

 there's a flower behind the window,

 there's an ugly laughing man,

 like a hummingbird in silence,

oh yeah, oh yeah, like the blood on my door,

wash me clean and I will run until I reach the shore,

 I've known it all along

 like the bone under my skin,

 like actors in a photograph,

 like paper in the wind,

 there's a hammer by the window,

 there's a knife on the floor,

 like turbines in darkness,
