Verse 1
Dm
F
While reading in bed one night
Am
C
She'd left the window open
Dm
F
And the storm caught her by surprise
Am
C
For days she lay as still as stone
Dm
F
Hooked to pumps and tubes
Dm
F
And at last a finger moved
Verse 2
F
E
She awoke to a cacophony of
F
E
electric and radio waves
F

Pulsing rays of energy falling

Verse 3
Am
C
High in swaying towers
Dm
F
Down in basements full of dust
Am
C
She could not escape the static
Dm
F
Or the sixty- cycle hum
Am
C
She wore dark- tinted spectacles
Dm
F
Several fur- lined capes
Am
C
Three pairs of velvet gloves
Dm
F
A veil of dotted swiss
Verse 4
F
E
But all the earth's vibrations
F
E
Still pounded through her ears
F
E
So she packed a steamer trunk

Verse 5
Am
C
From there a log raft took her
Dm
F
Over raging waterfalls
Am
C
Deep within uncharted jungle
Dm
F
Where giant caterpillars crawl
Am
C
They spun their silk around her
Dm
F
A cocoon beneath the trees
Am
C
And still she hangs there swaying
Dm
F
Deep within the dripping leaves
Verse 6
F
E
Keeping time with every rumble
F
E
Every quiver of the earth
F
E
And she slowly changes shape
F
E
With the turning of the world
