[A] _ _ [E] But it calmed [D] down on [A] the night in the [E] eye of the [D] forest.
[A] There is a mare, [E] black and shining, [A] _ with yellow hair.
[E] I put my [D] fingers through her [E] silken hair and found a stair.
[D] And I didn't [E] waste time, I just walked right up _ [A] and saw that [E] up there,
_ _ [D] there is [A] a sea [E] up there.
_ [D] _ [E] There's a sea up there.

I put [D] [A] his hand on my [E] knee _ on [Am] the screen and I [E] _
looked at Johnny
[A] _ _ and [E] handed him [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E]
a branch [A] of coral flame.
[E] The _ _ [A] waves were coming in like [E] _
Arabian [A] stallions,
gradually laughing to [E]
seahorses.
[D] He picked up the [A] blade [Em] and he pressed it against [D] his _ _ [A] [E] smooth throat.
The wind, [D] I let it [A] _ [E] _
dip in, [D] the waves [E] dip in to [D] the sea,
to [E] the sea of [D] possibilities.
It started hot, [E] dipping, it started [D] hotening in my hand.
_ [E] And I felt the [D] arrows of desire.
[E] I put my hand [D] _ _ _ [A] inside [E] his cranium.
[D] _ _ [E] Oh, we had such a [D] brainiac amour, but [E] no more, _ [D] no more.

[D] _ [A] _ _ [E] Thank you for what you [D] _ _ [A] see.
[E] You throw a blue [D]-shined open, [A] _ _ [E] coiled snakes,
[D] white [A] and shining, [E] twirling and [D] circling.
Our [A] lives [E] are now intertwined.
[D] We will [A] call, [E] we will sing together.
[D] _ [A] Twining [E] your nerves, your mane [A] of the black shining [E] horse in my fingers.
[A] Only twine in [E] the silky hair.

I made [Gbm] that power of babble.
[E] They knew what they were after.
[D] They knew what [A] they were after.
[E] They made all [D] the currents [A] move up.
[E] I tried to stop it, but it [D] was too warm, [E] too unbelievably [D] smooth.
[A]
Like the [E] waves in the [D] sea.
[Am] Your power, [E] your [A] possibilities, your possibility was [E] _ the [A] plane, _
the shining.
I hold the key to the [E] sea of [D] possibilities. _
[E] There's no _ [B] hand of the lake.

_ [Ab] _ _ [E] laid, _ _ _ [D] pressing [A] it against [E] his throat. _
[D] Your eyes, [A] he opened his [E] throat.
His [D] vocal cords [E] started shooting like [A] an _ epitopatory [E] _ _ gland,
_ screaming _ _ _ so _ _ _ high, _ _ _ _ that _ _ nobody heard.
No one heard that cry, no one heard the butterfly _ [Eb] laughing [Ab] in his throat. _
_ [Eb] Nobody heard, he was on that bed, it was like a sea of [E] jelly.
_ _ And so he seized _ _ _ _ _ his vocal cords, shot up,
_ _ _ possibility had _ a pituitary gland.
It was a _ _ _ black tube. _
_ _ _ _ _ He felt himself disintegrate, nothing happened,
and go inside the black tube.
_ _ _ So when he looked out into the _ _ _ _ _ deep,
_ _ _ saw this looking thing, _ wonder why.
Comforting on the poplar meadow,
leaning on the poplar meadow, _
in the shade there was a man, _
_ _ _ dancing _ _ _ around _ to a simple _ rock and roll _ _ song. _ _
