[Verse 1]
If there is [E]no such thing as time,
you're already there,
And you're controlling
this cycle
You say, "Man, look what we found here,
Einstein,"
Or whoever you're talking to, Tesla
- whoever you're talking to
Problems of the future can be solved by man
[A]kind because you create [E]them
And you have to believe in the future,
it's what we have to do
[Bm]We progress,
[E]we always progress - we [D]try to
So the Sumerian tablets,
they say the same thing like Genesis said
That there were chariots of fire
that came into the sky
And these beings got out of them, and
they walked [F#]like a man
But they had reptilian features
They had snake-like eyes, eyes, a tail,
and, uh, scales, right?
And they were - they were here,
and they made slaves out of the people
[Bbm]And where they landed in is wha[Bb]t
the Bible calls the Garden of Eden
They were trying to in[C#]breed with the
people here
The women would die,
the babies would abort
But after two thousand years
they started taking
The babies [E]started being born
and living
And they had tails,
they had a few reptilian features
They could phase [D]shift from
one dimension to another dimension
And the people who know say it's from the fourth
dimension - the next dimension
Space is expanding, [F#m]there are spirits [F#]com ing from the center,
right?
We're going counterclockwise
There's supposed to be eight other
universes [Bbm]going counterclockwise
And that's called
Superuniverse, you know?
And love's [C]always been the message
It's just - circumstances happen,
[Em]right?
People freak out, just flat flip out,
you know?
[D]Well, that's where Hitler came from,
Hitler came from that way
He was an outspoken, charismatic yeller
And, and all these people said
"Hey, we'll use this [F#]guy, hey,
look at all these people listening to this guy"
You know what I mean? And so
that's just what the trip's like, that
[Bbm]You know? It still exists, and their bloodline goes back
- back into Sumerian times
You know, they didn't call it reptili[C#]an,
they didn't call it that
But they did, because they called him Satan,
they called him the Devil
And it's the same damn trip
It's a [E]negative force,
coming in on a positive force
Because it's a third dimension, right?
[Em]And for it to solidify or to cryst[G]allize,
it has to have both elements, right?
And you have [Em]to keep it in balance,
[E]or it will, [A]it will
[E]One of them will destroy
[Em]the other
[E][Em]

[Verse 2]
I do my [G]best [Em]to sleep [E]through the
[Em]cater[Bm]waul[E][Em][G][Em]
The classicist, the posturing avant-garde
[G]I I[Em] boug[G]ht[C] a grey macaw,
named him Jules Verne
[Bm]He'll probably outlive me,
he's a bright [Em]bird
Keeps me [G]com[Em]pany,
I teach him [G]new words
[Em][G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 3]
[G]I saw [Em]a ho[E]logram at
[Em]the theme [G]park[Em][G]
[Em]She looked as real as me through
[G]the white fo[Em]g[Bm][Em][G][C]
Then she melted down to
her [Bm]ankles
Turned into a million-watt candle
candle
[E]If I knew [Em]where she went,
I would fol[G]low
[Em][G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Walking through the land
of [D]tomorrow
Martian trinkets, plastic Apollos
[G]In the sunshine, try to act normal
[C]My veins are full of flat cherry cola
[Em]Slept on the bench by th[G]e [Em]rollercoaster
[Bm]
[Em][G][Em][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Dreamt I was riding on a
[C]mot[G]orb[D]ike
Lion of Judah,
painted [C]on the side

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]
[Em][G][Em]
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]I'm doing fine,
I'm back in the [G]Palisades
[Em]Life[G]'s a[Em] wash,
a pastoral school [G]play[Em][G]
[C]China shops and cold ivory towers
[Bm]I and I, make toasts to the Caesars
[E]Forcing dow[Em]n the dregs of Decem
[G]ber[Em]s[G]
[Em][G]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
Madeline,
she spins in a slow [G]bang[Em][G]
[Em]All through the hous[G]e,
the strong [Em]smell of [G]burnt [Em]sage[G][Em][G]
[C]Let's make it clean and
run out the spirits
[Bm]I know a diving bell when I hear[Em] it
We're going down now
under the sur[G]face
[Em][G][Em][G]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Light to dark
can shift in an [D]instant
Feeling close but keeping my distance
[G]On all fours she's just so ins[C]istent
Fills my mind with jump
ropes and slit wrists
[Em]Bust through the firewall into heaven

[Verse 9]
[D]
And then I'm standing in that
[C]blinding [G]light[D]
Crooked crosses falling [C]from

[Interlude 2]
the sky
[G][D]
[Em][Bm]

[Verse 10]
[G]Seen, yeah, seen [C]by [D]I a[Bm]nd I[G]
[C]Seen, yeah, seen [G]by I and I
[C]Seen, yeah, seen by [G]I and I
Seen, [C]yeah, seen by I and I

[Outro 1]
