[Verse 1]
Cm Gm Cm Gm D5 Cm
Religious iconography giving you the creeps?
Cm Gm Cm Gm
I feel rougher than a disco lizard tongue along your cheek
D5 Cm
The rise of the machines
Cm Gm Cm Gm
I must admit you gave me something momentarily
D5 Cm
In which I could believe

But the hand of harsh reality's un-gloved
Cm
And it's on its way back in to scoop you up
Cm
But not on my watch
Cm
I won't stay with you my love

Mass panic on a not too distant future colony
D5 Cm
Quantitative easing

I want to make a simple point about peace and love

Highlight dangers and send out hidden messages

In the pocket of my raincoat

End up too clever for its own good
