    Verse 1
    Sylvia 
    was 

    struck 
    by 
    lightning 

    While 
    reading 
    in 
    bed 
    one 
    night 

    She'd 
    left 
    the 
    window 
    open 

    And 
    the storm 
    caught 
    her 
    by 
    sur
    prise 

    For 
    days 
    she 
    lay 
    as 
    still 
    as 
    stone 

    Hooked 
    to 
    pumps 
    and 
    tubes 

    Then 
    out 
    her 
    window 
    the 

    street 
    lights 
    flashed 

    And 
    at 
    last 
    a 
    finger 
    moved 

    Verse 2
    She 
    awoke 
    to 
    a 
    caco
    phony 
    of 

    electric 
    and 
    radi
    o 
    waves 

    Pulsing 
    rays 
    of 
    energy 
    falling 

    from 
    outer 
    space 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    High 
    in 
    swaying 
    towers 

    Down 
    in 
    basements 
    full 
    of 
    dust 

    She 
    could 
    not 
    escape 
    the 
    static 

    Or 
    the 
    sixty- 
    cycle 
    hum 

    She 
    wore 
    dark- 
    tinted 
    spectacles 

    Several 
    fur- 
    lined 
    capes 

    Three 
    pairs 
    of 
    velvet 
    gloves 

    A 
    veil 
    of 
    dotted 
    swiss 

    Verse 4
    But 
    all 
    the 
    earth's 
    vi
    brations 

    Still 
    pounded 
    through 
    her 
    ears 

    So 
    she 
    packed 
    a steamer 
    trunk 

    And 
    flew 
    a 
    prop 
    plane 
    to 

    Interlude 2
    Belize 


    Verse 5
    From 
    there 
    a 
    log 
    raft 
    took 
    her 

    Over 
    raging 
    water
    falls 

    Deep 
    within 
    uncharted 
    jungle 

    Where 
    gi
    ant 
    caterpillars 
    crawl 

    They 
    spun 
    their 
    silk 
    around 
    her 

    A 
    cocoon 
    beneath 
    the 
    trees 

    And 
    still 
    she 
    hangs 
    there 
    swaying 

    Deep 
    within 
    the 
    dripping 
    leaves 

    Verse 6
    Keeping 
    time 
    with 
    every 
    rumble 

    Every 
    quiver 
    of 
    the 
    earth 

    And 
    she 
    slowly 
    changes 
    shape 

    With 
    the 
    turning 
    of 
    the 
    world

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
