Verse 1
If there is (E major) no such thing as time,
you're already there,
And you're controlling
this cycle
You say, "Man, look what we found here,
Einstein,"
Or whoever you're talking to, Tesla
- whoever you're talking to
Problems of the future can be solved by man
(A major) kind because you create (E major) them
And you have to believe in the future,
it's what we have to do
(B minor) We progress,
(E major) we always progress - we (D major) try to
So the Sumerian tablets,
they say the same thing like Genesis said
That there were chariots of fire
that came into the sky
And these beings got out of them, and
they walked (F sharp major) like a man
But they had reptilian features
They had snake-like eyes, eyes, a tail,
and, uh, scales, right?
And they were - they were here,
and they made slaves out of the people
(B flat minor) And where they landed in (B flat major) is what
the Bible calls the Garden of Eden
They were trying to in (C sharp major) breed with the
people here
The women would die,
the babies would abort
But after two thousand years
they started taking
The babies (E major) started being born
and living
And they had tails,
they had a few reptilian features
They could phase (D major) shift from
one dimension to another dimension
And the people who know say it's from the fourth
dimension - the next dimension
Space is expanding, (F sharp minor) there are spirits (F sharp major) com ing from the center,
right?
We're going counterclockwise
There's supposed to be eight other
universes (B flat minor) going counterclockwise
And that's called
Superuniverse, you know?
And love's (C major) always been the message
It's just - circumstances happen,
(E minor) right?
People freak out, just flat flip out,
you know?
(D major) Well, that's where Hitler came from,
Hitler came from that way
He was an outspoken, charismatic yeller
And, and all these people said
"Hey, we'll use this (F sharp major) guy, hey,
look at all these people listening to this guy"
You know what I mean? And so
that's just what the trip's like, that
(B flat minor) You know? It still exists, and their bloodline goes back
- back into Sumerian times
You know, they didn't call it reptili (C sharp major) an,
they didn't call it that
But they did, because they called him Satan,
they called him the Devil
And it's the same damn trip
It's a (E major) negative force,
coming in on a positive force
Because it's a third dimension, right?
(E minor) And for it to solidify or to crys (G major) tallize,
it has to have both elements, right?
And you have (E minor) to keep it in balance,
(E major) or it will, (A major) it will
(E major) One of them will destroy
the other (E minor)
(E major) (E minor)
Verse 2
I do my (G major) best to sleep (E minor) through (E major) the
(E minor) cater (B minor) waul (E major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor)
The classicist, the posturing avant-garde
I (G major) (E minor) (G major) (C major) I bought a grey macaw,
named him Jules Verne
(B minor) He'll probably outlive me,
he's a bright bird (E minor)
Keeps me (G major) company, (E minor)
I teach him (G major) new words
(E minor) (G major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor)

Verse 3
I saw (G major) (E minor) a (E major) hologram at
the theme (E minor) park (G major) (E minor) (G major)
(E minor) She looked as real as me through
the white (G major) fog (E minor) (B minor) (E minor) (G major) (C major)
Then she melted down to
her ankles (B minor)
Turned into a million-watt candle
candle
(E major) If I knew (E minor) where she went,
I would follow (G major)
(E minor) (G major) (E minor)
Verse 4
(A minor)
Walking through the land
of tomorrow (D major)
Martian trinkets, plastic Apollos
(G major) In the sunshine, try to act normal

(E minor) I'm doing fine,
I'm back in the (G major) Palisades
(E minor) (G major) (E minor) Life's a wash,
a pastoral school play (G major) (E minor) (G major)
(C major) China shops and cold ivory towers
(B minor) I and I, make toasts to the Caesars
(E major) Forcing (E minor) down the dregs of Decem
(G major) ber (E minor) s (G major)
(E minor) (G major)
Verse 7
(E minor)
Madeline,
she spins in a slow bang (G major) (E minor) (G major)
(E minor) All through the (G major) house,
the strong (E minor) smell of (G major) burnt sage (E minor) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
(C major) Let's make it clean and
run out the spirits
(B minor) I know a diving bell when I hear (E minor) it
We're going down now
under the surface (G major)
(E minor) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
Verse 8
(A minor) Light to dark
can shift in an instant (D major)
Feeling close but keeping my distance
(G major) On all fours she's just so insistent (C major)
Fills my mind with jump
ropes and slit wrists
(E minor) Bust through the firewall into heaven
Verse 9
(D major)
And then I'm standing in that
blind (C major) ing light (G major) (D major)
Crooked crosses falling from (C major)
