Well, it's scrawled upon the streets Our enemy's victory's complete

Blessed blue-black virgin shifting In the ocean's rhythm
E minor 7Em7          Bm/D
Partly living tissue, partly always hidden
G+G
Give me strength & vision Watch over the earth
       E minor 7Em7
It's listing, lady, like it's almost broken

Are my eyes now closed or opened?

Our parents are fading out, fading out, fading out
         G+G     Gmaj7Gmaj7
Into the fuzzy fuzz

I can't get enough air into my lungs
      Am7Am7       C majorC
I see the bald head of a vulture
            G+G   Gmaj7Gmaj7
Come cresting up the stairs
C majorC           Am7Am7
Time holds me, greenish-brown
            G+G      Gmaj7Gmaj7
And dying, in a studio somewhere

Cmaj7Cmaj7      E minor 7Em7     C majorC C/BC/B C/AC/A C/GC/G
Borne away on a wave of love
