Verse 1
(F sharp minor) I came to live in
New
York when I was 18.
The week before I left, there was a
Stephen
King
TV movie on.
The story was very apocalyptic.
Disease has taken over the human
race and
turned people crazy and there was mass hysteria,
and most everyone dies.
Part of the story
takes place in
New
York
City. I remember watching stampeding hordes of
people trying to escape
their inevitable death.
The tunnels and bridges clogged,
and I'll find
During the same
time, I read a book called
Black
Dawn by
Day.
I bought the book in a shop
in downtown
Baltimore after school one
day.
The hippie cashier saw the book, touched my head, and solemnly said,
You know, you're never going to live to be
my age.
Do you know what that book is about,
he asked.
I nodded yes.
Some day I'll write of the
Native
American prophecies that state the passage
of this world into the next.
There's a map in the book that shows where the safest places will be and also places in the country where there will be things like toxic waste spills,
rioting, drought, floods, and disease.
I came to
New
York believing the situation
did not look good.
After high school I told people my (B minor) plan was to get the hell out before the year (G major) 2000,
before all this shit went down.
(B minor) I'm still here in
(G major) New
York believing these things come true slowly
day by day as I spend and expend.
The root difference now is I believe more in the importance
of my inner reality than I do in escape plans.
I also believe more and more that this idea of a pure place,
untouched by the mistakes of our human race, does not exist anymore.
Over the time I find it and scrounge up enough cash to go there,
it will already be extinct.
That this idea of a pure place, untouched by the mistakes of our human race,
does not exist anymore.
But by the time I find it,
I'm scrammed at the next task.
Jump first and don't ask (B minor) ques (G major) tions
First place to all who (B minor) come (G major)
This is the town of futures
(B minor) (G major)
We're the starting (B minor) gun (G major)
(B minor) We (G major) don't (F sharp minor) pray to (A major) a (A minor) high (D major) power
We (A minor) just (F sharp minor) watch out (A major) for (A minor) fallen
(D major) (B minor) tower (G major) s
(B minor) (G major)
(B minor)
You're (G major) a song that keeps me (B minor) holy
(G major) The greatest love of (B minor) all (G major) (B minor)
I'll (G major) miss the cere (B minor) mony
Of (G major) (B minor)
(G major) every spring (B minor) an d fall (G major)
We don't (F sharp minor) pray to our (A minor) power (D major)
We'll (A minor) just (F sharp minor) watch out (A minor) for
Fallen (B minor) tower (G major) s (E minor) (G major)
(B minor) (C major) (A minor)
(B minor) (E major) (B minor) (C major) (E minor)
(B minor) (C major)
(A minor) (B minor) (E major) (B minor) (C major)
(B minor) (G major) (E minor)
(G major)
(B minor)
(G major) Jump first and don't ask questions
First place to all who come (B minor) (G major) (B minor)
This (G major) is the town (B minor) of futures
(G major) We're (B minor)
(G major) the starting gun (B minor) (G major)
We don't (F sharp minor) pray to (A major) a (A minor) high (D major) power
(A minor) We just (F sharp minor) watch out (A major) for (A minor)
fallen (B minor) tower (E minor) s (G major)
(B minor) (G major)
You
