[Verse]
Em Seen rose gold haze
at the end of the day
Em Ragged-winged hawk
swooping down on prey
Em Curtain going up on the
night time shadow play
Em Seen sun going down
set the sea on fire
Em Black smoke boiling
from burning tires
Em And bones in the mud,
was the blood sacrifice required? [Chorus]
G Em Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen G In the depth of the world
Em
and the heart of a dream
G Em Ooh-wee, all the places I've been G Each one reflected in the
Em Bm
states I'm in, uh huh
Em States I'm in [Verse]
Em One day fit and one day fat Em One day flush and
one day flat
Em Reality distorted
like I sat on hat
Em One day I feel like
I'm in control
Em Next I'm suspended
in a bottomless hole
Em A drunk trying to
shinny up a greased pole [Chorus]
G Em Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen G In the depth of the world
Em
and the heart of a dream
G Ooh-wee, all the
Em
places I've been
G Each one reflected in the
Em Bm
states I'm in, uh huh Em States I'm in [Verse]
Em I'm slick as a dealer
in a green eye shade
Em Aces up his sleeve and
he's not afraid
Em The mayor and his uniformed
monkeys have been well paid
Em Climbing up the ivy
to the balcony above
Em Where pines the heart
of my one true love Em Obsession, delusion, all that
waits is the fateful shove [Chorus]
G Em Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen G In the depth of the world
Em
and the heart of a dream
G Em Ooh-wee, all the places I've been G Each one reflected in the
Em Bm
states I'm in, uh huh
Em States I'm in [Solo]
Em [Verse]
Em Crows in the treetops
motors in the road
Em Structures of darkness
that the dawn corrodes
Em Into the title montage
of a new episode
Em Whisper wells up
from the deeps untrod
Em Overflows the channel
and spreads abroad
Em Gathers in power
like a lightning rod [Chorus]
G Em Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen G In the depth of the world
Em
and the heart of a dream
G Em Ooh-wee, all the places I've been G Each one reflected in the
Em Bm
states I'm in, uh huh Em States I'm in G Em Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen G In the depth of the world
Em
and the heart of a dream
G Em Ooh-wee, all the places I've been G Each one reflected in the
Em Bm
states I'm in, uh huh
Em States I'm in
