Am

Crawl upon the earth scour the universe you know

F

Set my compass north, circumscribe the earth and go

G

Am

With no direction home What's my part in this? What's this dream I can't let go? What's your way with this? What d'ya want to see and who d'ya want to know? You've no direction home

F

No direction home

G

Am

No direction Feels like all is lost, there's nowhere left to go Through the seas and sands, across the sky through the morning snow Is there no direction home? Nowhere left to go No direction

Am

Yearning, keep from burning, keep 'em earning

C

Someone's got to pay for all this television There's children singing, and church bells ringing

Am

And people skipping merrily to work, I'm dreaming I'm dreaming For maybe you'll wind up crazy, and when you're drinking You may start thinking, that you're stupid and you're lazy Well just keep earning, keep on yearning And you will believe there are no gods and monsters Gods and monsters

C

So free of contradictions, no dereliction There are no gods and monsters

G

So useless and so pretty and so good

Am

So pretty and so good Gods and monsters

C

Now have I got you watching For all the gods and monsters?

G

Are sitting, reclining in the back row of your mind

Am

I think that's what you'll find Yes, there are gods and monsters Yes, there are gods and monsters Yes, there are gods and monsters

Shut your mouth and watch my lips

Can't you feel the healing fingertips?

A

Coming down on you like rain

E

And tell me now whether we remain

Over my shoulder you go

C#m

E

And where it lands, you don't want to know I used to work night and day Nobody listened to a word I'd say I didn't care you knew me then Someone stupid asked if we were friends, well Over my shoulder it goes Back to a bar we both used to know So shut your mouth and watch my lips Can't you feel the healing fingertips? Coming down on you like rain So tell me now whether we remain Over my shoulder it goes And where it lands, I don't want to know

C#m

From an ordinary house, in an ordinary world From an ordinary town there came an ordinary girl Wore a face that looked surprised, a book of dog eared rhymes She never made a sound, never said a word Nothing was ever seen, nothing was ever heard In an ordinary town, and an ordinary girl She's feeling, outrageous, so daft and courageous She's laughing, flirtatious, we're falling unconscious She's selfish and needy, she's wanton and greedy She's mugging her lovers, she's bleeding the buggers from below In an ordinary house, in an ordinary town Upon an ordinary street, nothing was ever found Of that ordinary girl who never made a sound She's up in the attic, she's bristling with static Her beauty's vampiric, so solemn and stoic She's wanton, she's needy, she's selfish and greedy She's mugging her lovers, she's bleeding the buggers from below The ones she's been kissing, are strangely gone missing On a day when the weather was stormy, untethered Do you see them? No never! They all went together They all went together with the ordinary girl

I've dreamed of the stars so much

Like once what was your lover's touch

Em

A

Just reached back to kill you And if you ever go astray I'll say that I knew you Tomorrow's the same as yesterday So what good will that do you?

Bm

Bm

To fall upon ourselves each night

Em

And crawl like vampires from the light

A

Later on will they all say

F#

G

They never cared much anyway I've dreamed of myself so much I must seem familiar Like once what was my lover's touch Reached out to thrill you And if we ever go astray I'll say that I knew you Tomorrow's the same as yesterday What good will that do you? You're on your marks and off your face Hung out in some exotic place And in your hand but out of reach Once more you go into the breach

Instrumental verse x2

We fall upon ourselves each night And crawl like vampires from the light And later on well they all say They never made much anyway And I've dreamed of the stars so much That they seem familiar Like once what was your lover's touch Just reached back to kill you But if you ever went astray I'd say that I knew you Tomorrow's the same as yesterday So what good will that do you? You're on your marks and off your face Hung out in some exotic place But out of reach within your hand The same for you don't understand

I do believe that something somewhere sent me, to you, astray

F

C

And the bold raging flame of your heart is making me stay And I admit That I have spent some time in confusion Not knowing what is or is not illusion Riddled with myself and destruction, astray And the bold raging flame of your heart is making me stay In flux we move We crawl across the sky like the weather To think that you once thought that I was clever But I was do or die not now or never, astray Still the bold raging flame of your heart is making me stay

Making it stick, drip upon drip Is that what you do with sand and glue? Don't put out the light, let me see you tonight 'Cause that's what I'll do with you Making it stick, drip upon drip Is that what you do with sand and glue? Don't put out the light, let me see you tonight 'Cause that's what I do with you What good is god or laughter If you don't know what you're after Who makes up the things that you do? You're gutless and over-reaching Blessed and always preaching Who makes up the things that you do? Making it stick, drip upon drip Is that what you do with sand and glue? Don't put out the light, let me see you tonight 'Cause that's what I'll do to you I'll tell you what I think's funny You've got the looks and money You make up the things that you do Godless and without meaning Nothing left to believe in But who makes up the things that you do? Making it stick, drip upon drip Is that what you do with sand and glue? Don't put out the light, let me see you tonight 'Cause that's what I'll do to you
