[Intro]
E D x2
[Verse 1]
E D E D
Cars rust, stars grow cold and die
E D E E7
Machines break and humans cease to try

And I fall prey to the many traps all around me
D E E7
They confound me
[Chorus]
G D
Cerebral world

Triumph of the will
G D
I must fight for plus signs
A E
Overcome the kill

I must search for new clues
A E
For my space in time

Entropy will chase the crowd all around me
D E E7
It can hound me
[Chorus]

Wonder is what I best can do

D E E7
Just to run down
[Chorus Fade]
