Dm There's a fish in the fountain C at the Bai Sheng restaurant and if you feed it with sweetcorn Dm it will whisper what you want Dm C it will whisper about the black ocean Dm and a mountain that wakes when lightning strikes A Dm a meeting with the bartender at the Meridian Hotel A Dm The last night on Earth and a song was played It was the song about the flood against the ark Say goodnight with one last kiss that's what you get for listening to the fish Say goodnight with one last kiss that's what you get for listening to the fish

E B A B... and sometimes C# minor?? I don't know if this song sounds good on any other guitar I felt like we've grown to never be apart and when I sing, I sing in your tune and when I go to sleep I don't look at any old moon, I look at ours I slip and stumble all confused through the icy streets of Stockholm but I found what I've been looking for in an art exhibition by Victor Finnigan It was a mix of Lana Del Rey, Twin Peaks and the american whore Keep on running, keep on running to make sure You talked about the 20 yellow roses that were sent to your mother by Leonard Cohen to celebrate your birth and at night everyone was bleeding from their mouths they had lost their teeth and they were looking for drugs right under the table where we sat Security guards sent them lost into the darkness (here comes the C#) Out there is a light, and it will go out So I need to find it, and I need to find it now It will spark a brief relief with the sound of Lou Reed and the 5th avenue And I can sense the end of hurt but I can sense the end of you And riding dim light buses, running round deep lakes to match that haunting beat that my body seems to contain with that beat I heard from the congas in that sweaty little comic store bar Keep on banging to the sound of passing cars (C#) But I was happy on that hard cold floor where I spent the night You made me lose my hands with your song and surrender to that miracle on Neon Clown Avenue A small lit up greek fast food restaurant with fluorescent lights and french fries wrapped in wax paper I can't, I can't, I can't

D G D G D G D A? Since I jumped that wall to my school yard always felt life shouldn’t be so hard could have focused and learnt some karate to fight my bullies but instead I had to play smart Stage lights in my face now I’m shaking but always felt fear is cooler than faking should have focused and learnt some guitar techniques Instead I try to my hardest just to be me play the same chords we played in your house but I sing about how I’m missing you now sneaking into gardens to filch apples or tried to smoke nutmeg just to see what happens Sometimes I can’t come up with words for a song and I need an adventure for my brain to run I Take a walk with Alex in the hood and pretty soon we have some problems to run from G A D Bm G A ...D Sometimes life tears you down hard work eats you up you try to protect yourself with sleep and TV but you just end up unhappy You need a break, you need reality to shake Since I jumped that wall to my school yard I never cared for trying too hard Never bothered by work or hierarchy bosses or teachers or modern society Sometimes we take the car down the coast set up our tent by a lake or the woods the kids collect branches to build a big fire to scare off the gorgons make the dark a bit lighter and before we get to sleep in our sleeping bags we go hunting for hedgehogs with flashlights I will them this is what I did with my dad hope you get the same night feeling I had Cause ever since I jumped that wall to my school yard I’ve been feeling like a cave man in a too hard society I just wanna run from into the forest to the beat of my tribe drums Sometimes life tears you down hard work eats you up You hear the wild wolves howl from the mountain top it’s time for that stone age break, you need reality to shake Sometimes life tears you down hard work eats you up but they didn’t build this town for you they built it for the banks, pollution, profits, shopping centers and hip coffeeshops

A D E A The world is a stage, everyday a new film You can be anyone, you can do anything ride your horse over the bridge during the apocalypse the dead are alive and they're hungry We play in The Pistols, we're Bonnie and Clyde it's the twilight zone, we have crossed the divide between reality and the land of no rules and we ride away into our own night The rain kept falling and I dreamt of a tan so we went to Alfredo's attic to write the song about the man we tried to keep it steady but we couldn't keep up with the hairdressers My bike got stolen so my knees grew weak these cameras everywhere make me look like a freak that night I decided not to participate anymore in your "time project" C D G G Grow your hair long, cowboy Jon Don't wanna live in Starlink Don't need permission from anyone don't need no plan to do it Went back to the old house - they tore it down jumped the fence, walked the railroad track You think it's me but I ain't coming back A D E A Unfortenately they taught me how to read how to put chords together to make it sound neat how to rhyme and how to scream how to think and how to everything and say their prayers while letting me down in an urn blue like the ocean but I painted it brown just like my horse and I ride away into my own night C D G G Grow your hair long, cowboy Jon Don't wanna live in Starlink Don't need permission from anyone don't need no plan to do it Went back to the old house - they tore it down jumped the fence, walked the railroad track You think it's me but I ain't coming back

D A Bm G We are one with the universe when we dive into the pool we’re just dust from exploding stars but I put on my dancing shoes and head downtown to meet strangers to feel the dangers of the night I head downtown to meet strangers to feel the dangers of the night Warm vibes slow beats lure me down to the ocean and a bar full of cats I see you dancing in orange Hey I haven’t seen you here before But I danced to this song I can’t decide if it’s happy or sad But I feel like it belongs in those backstreets behind the ocean when the tourists are gone there’s a mountain full of thistles and it wakes up to this song it’s a crocodile song it’s a warning someone comes here every winter to write a book and go off grid the beach is empty around midnight we said not to go here but we did and we lay down watching stars rise in our kingdom, island time one day the crocodile is gonna wake up and that’s the end of you and I we are one with the universe when we dive into the pool we’re just dust from exploding stars but dust don’t talk like we do quiet warm night beats from a distant bar bet they have coffee in the morning and I will play my guitar
