Gold, alone, clinging to a stem
 Dm                    F      Gsus2
Pretty soon, this will be a skeleton
    Dm         F                   Gsus2
Metropolises, before- silent and smouldering
 Dm              F                        Gsus       C      C7
Above, the wild giant wailed, "Never will I do that again!"

To be shaped by such strange men

 Elizabeth, explain what the writer meant

Verse 2:
        Dm        F                             Gsus2
The General- bucktoothed, bright eyed, frothing red
 Dm                   F                Gsus2
Baltimore- you on the floor, me on the edge of the bed
   Dm               F               Gsus2
We saw him, in one brutal gesture, tear that rabbit open
    Dm                       F                      Gsus   C   C7
And you turned to me, "Isn't this supposed to be for children?"

F       Gm
So, so strange, so strange, so strange

  Elizabeth, the train

When will I see you again?

Will you tell me your mind, tell me your mind, tell me that your mind has changed?
         Dm                          F          F7                Bb        Gsus2

 Elizabeth, explain what the writer meant
