Verse 1
(G major)
Windows in a silent room
Sunlight burns the walls to black
(A minor) Angles and dimensions melt
While colors drip and pillows crack
(B minor) Reflections of my memories
like pictures pasted on a sheet
(A minor) A ribbon film of separate frames
(G major) lying curled up at my feet
The film is just a snake design
and the photographs (F sharp major) are fading fast
(D major) These (F major) (D minor) are not memories (F major) of mine,
I (G major) have no future and no past
(D major) I have seen a thousand afternoons
dis (G major) solve into (D major) the night
Like sugar crystals on a spoon,
they disap (G major) pear from (D major) sight
(E major) Gray (E minor) days (A major) from the crispest
morning
(G major) to the warmest (F sharp major) afternoon
(E minor) In this room (A major)
(D major) And I like to draw the face
I saw (B minor) so long (D major) ago
My image in the mirror
tells the (C major) jagged lines (D major) which way to go
A (E major) black (E minor) and white de (A major) scription
of the (G major) sole survivor (F sharp major) of the holocaust. (D major) (G major)
All the rest were (D major) lost. (G major)
Do you see this paper face?
It has no color or no mood.
My (A minor) eyes are ageless as am I.
I need no sleep, I need no food
(D major) I am a king, but like a child
The other children laugh at me (B minor)
(A minor) Tongues of fire, wagging wild
(G major) They dance around me merrily
I'll kill them all,
and if I fail I'll (D major) kill whoever I can find
(F major) And then (D minor) they'll beg me (F major) to be kind
(D major) My eyes have seen far more
than eye (G major) s can ever (D major) tell
This planet plunged through mushroom
fires (B minor) of (D major) earthly hell
(E major) I know (E minor) that my (A major) sweet Jesus
said (D major) that he'd return
(F sharp major) But (E major) Babylon has (A major) fallen,
and (G major) the cities burn (D major)
