G#m                      E        E7
I've got a clear spot, a devilish psalm
    C#7sus4   C#7     E       E7
?But nobody's home to fix the alarm, no
G#m                E         E7?
Disgruntled woman, enchanted stains
      C#7sus4     C#7     E       E7
?We're tempted by God but nothing remains

My faith is hungry like a whale frozen toes
C#7sus4   C#7          E      E7
?Steal cap fingers and nobody knows
G#m                      E           E7
?It's raining concrete, a tunnel wind blows
C#7sus4          C#7     E         E7?
Stones on my column, the path that I chose
