[Intro]
D
[Verse]
G D A
You're knee-deep in some sin
G D A
And your cavalry has thinned
Em A
And the shade of your diamond parasol is long gone
G A D
You've eluded the shadow of dreams, dear
G D A
You all but one usually finds
G D A
No sage no mastermind
Em A
And you broke your knee just to lay foul crimes upon
G A D
Eluding the shadow of dreams, dear
[Chorus]
A D
Crucifixion, crucifixion
A D
Crucifixion, crucifixion
G A
The cast of the die, the stereo high
[Verse]
G D A
You're the guardian angel's first
G D A
And your books reveal the earth
Em A
And its millennial migrations keep you awake and very stoned
G A D
Aloof in your shadowy dreams, dear
G D A
Those rows of telephone wire
G D A
Formed a staff in the purple sky
Em A
And you licked your finger and corrected a native song
G A D
Eluding the shadow of dreams, dear
[Chorus]
A D
Crucifixion, crucifixion
A D
Crucifixion, crucifixion
G A
You're all in bows, your throat to your nose
[Instrumental]
G D A
G D A
Em A
G A D
[Chorus]
A D
Crucifixion, crucifixion
A D
Crucifixion, crucifixion
G A
An elastic set blame for what's done in your name
[Outro]
