             D    Riff 1                      D  Riff 1
The pendulum swings,     for the horse like a man

             D   Riff 1     D      Riff 1
Out over the rim,    is ice cream to him

              D  Riff 2  G*               C*  Riff 3
The beautiful lull,         the dangerous tug

               D
we get to feel small,        but not out of place  at  all


                D  Riff 1                    D  Riff 1
We're forced to bed,       but we're free to dream

             D   Riff 1                  D   Riff 1
All us human extras,       all us herded beings

            D  Riff 2    G*         C*  Riff 3
And after a glimpse,       over the top

                D
The rest of the world,      becomes a gift     shop


                 SOLO  **BREAK**


                     D Riff 1                    D Riff 1
I don't know what to believe,   sometimes I even forget

              D Riff 1             D  Riff 1
And if it's a lie,      terrorists made me say it

              D  Riff 2  G*               C*  Riff 3
The beautiful lull,         the dangerous tug

We get to feel small,        from high up above

From high up above,          from high up above

             D  Riff 2    G*              C*  Riff 3
From high up above,          from high up above
