Oh, gods and years will rise and fall and there’s always something more
C G/B Am D
Lost in talk, I waste my time, and it’s all been said before.
C G/B Am D
While further down behind the masquerade, the tears are there.
C G/B Am D
I don’t ask for all that much – I just want someone to ca-a-a-are! That’s right, now!

C G/B Am D
It’s king and queen and we must go down, now, beyond the chandelier
C G/B Am D
Where I won’t have to speak my mind and you won’t have to hear

Shreds of news and after thoughts and complicated scenes.
C G/B Am D
We’ll weather down behind the light and fade like magazines!
Ah-yaya-yay! I ******* to go now!
