D G D G
Mountainous pictures of coloured scenes appear upon my face
D Em G Bb D
And the joss stick smoke of sense dissolves, forever in its place
D G D G
The shadowy friends that line the walls all dream while laying down
D Em G Bb D
While the window tapping silhouette in rain begins to drown
Chorus A:
D G C F
In the room of percussion
C F C G
The discussion slides as you enter through the door
D G C F
And the one armed bandit
C F C G
Laughs aloud and disappears once more
D G D G
Foolish thoughts of ecstasy are dead but without too much concern
D Em G Bb D
In the hearth, my hopes by millions lay twisted as they burn
D G D G
The crooked faces of clocks appear and die in nightmare dreams
D Em G Bb D
While juggling music surrounds us both and turns our thoughts to screams
Chorus B:
D G C F
In the room of percussion
C F C G
The discussion slides as you enter through the door
D G C F
And the one armed bandit
C F C G
Laughs aloud and disappears once more
Am F
My God, the spiders are everywhere!
D G D G
With ruby wine and our tangled nerves, our mouths flap in despair
D Em G Bb D
And with tumbled words of poetry, we try and prove we care
D G D G
But the glow-worm light of creativeness moves out into the rain
D Em G Bb D
And the joss stick dies and disappears, its scent alone remains
Chorus A
Chorus B
