[F]So[C]me[F]ti[F7]mes the windmills combine with the suns in a way

[Db]Tha[Gdim]t twi[Asus4]tches [Asus4]on a picketed place where the spirits lay, hey

[Dm]One[Dm/C#] thing[F/C] lea[Fmaj7/C]ds to another, nights for sleep blue curtains cover

[Eb]Seq[Ebm]uins[Bb] in[Bb] the eyes, that's a fine time to dine

[Bdim]Divin[Bdim]e hair circling feeding the cards to the midwives

[Db]A c[Gdim]ouple[Asus4] of ho[Asus4]urs to learn the controls and commandeer both my eyes, hey

[Dm]Be [Dm/C#]quick [F]de[Fmaj7/E]ar, times are uncertain, one month crawling, next year blurring

[Eb]Dec[Ebm]ades[Bb] in[Bb] the drain, monograms on the brain

[Bdim]Decid[Bdim]e what's working and what's moved on to the

[F/C]last[C] p[F/C]hase[C]. The floodgate alien days, I love those alien days

[Gb]You[Abadd9] don't [Bb]nee[Bb]d wings to hover forty ton stones for a mile

[Ebm]And [Ebm]in t[Eb6]he s[Eb6]ummer, virgin fishes, mindless humming, thunders can't decide
