[Verse]

D    A      G            D       A   G
I'll be the madness that carries you away
D    A      G          D          A       G
I'll be the sadness to light your darkest day
D    A      G            D          A      G
I'll be the desert island where you can be free
D    A      G          D    A         G
I'll be the vulture you can catch and eat

Let our clothing drop off feel each other's butts

Start a better country where we can get things done

Make a fortune turning sand to silicon
