Pumped out by an engine deep inside the earth's core
E MajorE A augmentedA
It goes sideways in the city

The blizzard blows from left to right

Verse:
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m
Brave to the waves of its residue
E MajorE A augmentedA
Its laughter from a marbled room
E MajorE F# minorF#m
The white-crowned sounds of possible
E MajorE A augmentedA
The sound that lures me
E MajorE F# minorF#m
It says, "Don't you hurry
E MajorE A augmentedA
Don't you worry, kid, we'll be seeing you
E MajorE F# minorF#m
We'll see you when you're ready."

A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m
Ragtime turning out the sun and moon
E MajorE A augmentedA
Its gravity is soothing
E MajorE F# minorF#m
It winds me in a sleep cocoon
E MajorE A augmentedA
I'll reveal myself when I'm ready
E MajorE F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD
I'll reveal myself invincible soon
