Am

"So,

what do we do here now?" said the prophet to the priest.
G

"I see so much confusion now we
Am

bind them with belief."

"We take a little bit of honey,

and put it out of reach.
G

Grow fat upon their monies as

we promise them relief."
Am

Well Adam should have never took that

apple from the tree.
G

Knowledge bound and tight in chains

of doubt and misery.
Am

Bet he wishes that he'd stayed at home

and spent more time with Eve.
G

Colors started bleeding from
Am
G

the palette of his dreams.
Am
So,
Verse 2

Music Mephistopheles

I summon you to sing for me,
G

Call you across the endless sea through
Em

deserts of eternity.
Am

Said I would a weaver be,

and spin in sound this tapestry.
G

My moods become a melody; my
Em

music's mirrors shades in me.
Am

Then fire splits the nada,

glimpsed chance dancing in shadow.
G

"Spirit, tell me where this boat goes,
Am

for I don't know. Am I wasting all my time?"
Verse 3
G
Am

A shadow broke the circle

and a stranger took my hand.
G

And placed one palm in the ocean
Am

and the other in the sand.

A cold, dead planet raced between

a dancing moon and sun.
G

Kaleidoscopes of consciousness

they flicker then are gone.
Am

You pretty little people just

the wood the fire burns.
G

As ashes are to ashes,
Am

so to dust we shall return.
Verse 4
G
Am

A businessman awakens

and puts on his suit and tie.
G

Leaves the house in darkness for the 7:25,
Am

And then he glimpses in the windows rows of tired,

hollow eyes.
G

Rubs his own and wonders,

"What has happened to my life?"
Dm

The Director's in the counting house

counting what he's got,
G

Besides a single plastic flower

in a plastic flowerpot.
Dm

And his fat fingers snap his coins

in little towers on his desk.
G

"Going to brand them all like cattle

put our logos on their chests."
Dm

What do you think I see now when

I'm looking at our lives?
G

Little fucking money puppets

dancing in a line.
Am
Verse 5
G

Am

I hear a newborn baby screaming

and a lonely widow sigh.
G

See people needing people like the
Am

spider needs the fly.

A silent moonbeam passing

through a broken windowpane.
G

Desire sends you dancing like

a moth into the flame.
Am

And that sweet mistress marijuana just ain't

treating me the same.
G

I used to meet the gaze of strangers once,

now I look away.
Am

Round me runs the traffic,

and above me thunder trains.
G

Sun don't shine in London town

it only seems to rain.
Am
G

Verse 6
Am

Lightning struck the tower and the

stars began to fall.
G
Am

Wrote my name in fire with my

finger on the wall.

Call you by celebrity,

by magazines, and MTV.
G
C

Bind you in their company.
Am

Summon you to sing for me.

  • 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

    Rose the Black Cat

    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 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    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!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
