    Verse 1
    Sun 
    went 
    down 

    looking 
    like 
    the 
    eye 
    of God 

    Behind 
    icy 
    mis
    t and 
    stark 
    bare 
    trees 

    Inside 
    the dim 
    empty 
    cinema 

    two 
    guys 
    in 
    leather 
    jackets 

    Glance 
    at 
    each 
    other 
    and shiver
    , 

    "They 
    never 
    built 
    these 
    places 
    with 
    winter 
    in 
    mind" 

    Out 
    the 
    window 
    down 

    the 
    gray 
    road 

    You can 
    see 
    old 
    walled 
    monastery 

    Now 
    become 
    a barracks 
    for 

    Verse 2
    the 
    paramilitary police 

    I 





    saw 
    an old 
    lady's 
    face 
    once 
    on a 
    Japanese 
    train 

    Half 
    lit, rich 
    with 
    soft 
    luminosity 

    She was 
    dozing 
    straight 
    upright 
    head 

    bobbing 
    almost 
    imperceptibly 

    Wheels 
    were playing 
    fast 
    in 
    9 8 of 

    a time 

    Her husband's 
    friendly 
    face 

    suddenly 
    folded 
    up 
    in a sneeze 

    Across 
    the straight 
    a 
    volcano 
    flew 
    a white 
    smoke 
    flag 
    of sur
    render 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    In 
    a 
    Roman 
    street 
    on 
    a full 
    moon 
    night 

    I was 
    sick 
    and there 
    was a young 

    cop 
    in 
    a circle 
    of yel
    low light 

    As 
    we drew 
    near 
    he 
    snapped 
    the 

    safety 
    off his 
    machine 
    pis
    tol 

    And 
    slid 
    a trembling 
    finger 
    to 
    the 
    trigger 

    I 
    wanted 
    to say 
    something 
    calm

    ing 
    but couldn't 
    catch 
    his 
    eye 

    He didn't 
    want 
    contact, 

    he was trained 
    to see 
    movement 

    "Well 
    don't 
    shoot me, 
    man, 

    I'm 
    a graceful 
    slow 
    dancer 

    Interlude 2
    I'm 
    just a dream 
    to 
    you not 
    real 
    at all" 




    Verse 4
    I 
    wonder 
    if I'll 
    end 
    up like 

    Bernie 
    in his 
    dream 

    A 
    displaced 
    person 
    in some 

    foreign 
    border 
    town 

    Waiting 
    for a 
    train 
    part 

    hope 
    part 
    myth 

    While the 
    station 
    changes 
    hand
    s 

    Or 
    just 
    sit
    ting 
    at 
    home 
    growing 

    tenser 
    with the times 

    Or 
    like that 
    guy 
    in 'The Sev

    enth 
    Seal' 

    Watching 
    the newly 
    dead 

    dance 
    across 
    the hills 

    Or 
    wearing 
    this 
    leather jacket 

    shivering 
    with a 
    friend 

    While the 
    eye of 
    God 
    blazes 
    at us 
    like 
    the sun

      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

      Tuliketsune

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
