Within these crimes of passion, the naked truth she dwells

And this fury's just a part and this thunder's just a part

Desire is just a part, the cracking ice, the splitting rock

How do we tell the people in the white coats
E MajorE
Enough is enough ?
G+G          FF
How do we tell the people in the white coats
