[Verse 1]
Finally, I’m crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world, to the reveal of my heart
Undoubtedly, that will for certain
Take the dead out of the sea, and the darkness from the arts

[Pre-Chorus 1]
This is my commitment (ah-ah-ahh)
My modern manifesto (ah-ahh)
I’m doing it for all of us (ah-ahh)
Who never got the chance (ah-ah ah-ah)

I’m in for ahhh (shut-up, shut-up)
And all my Birds of Paradise (shut-up, shut-up)
Who never got to fly at night (shut-up, shut-up)
‘Cause they were caught up in the dens (ah-ah ah-ah ahh)

[Chorus 1]
Sometimes it feels like I’ve got a war in my mind
I want to get off but I keep riding the ride
I never really notice that I had to decide
To play someone’s game or live my own life

(play only open low E-string, not full E chord):

And now I do, I want to move
Out of the black (out of the black), into the blue (into the blue)

[Verse 2]
Finally, gone is the burden
Of the crowdly way of being, that comes from energies combined
Like my part was I, was not discerning
And you as we found out, were not in your right mind

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There’s no more chasing rainbows (ah-ahh)
And hoping for an end to them (ah-ahh)
Their arches are illusions (ah-ahh)
Solid at first glance (ah-ah ah-ah)

But then you try to touch them (touch, touch)
There’s nothing to hold on to (hold, hold)
The colors used to lure you in (you in)
And put you in a trance (ah-ah ah-ah ahh)

[Chorus 2]
Sometimes it feels like I’ve got a war in my mind
I want to get off but I keep riding the ride
I never really notice that I had to decide
To play someone’s game or live my own life

(play only open low E-string, not full E chord):

And now I do, I want to move
Out of the black (out of the black), into the blue (into the blue)
Out of the black (out of the black), into the blue (into the blue)

[Verse 1]
Topanga’s hot tonight, the city by the bay
Has movie stars and liquor stores and soft decay
The rumbling from distant shores sends me to sleep
But the facts of life can sometimes make it hard to dream

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Life rocked me like Motley
Grab me by the ribbons in my hair
Life rocked me ultra-softly
Like the heavy metal that you wear

[Chorus 1]
I’m flying to the moon again
Dreaming about heroin
How I gave you everything
And took your life away

I put you on an aeroplane
Destined for a foreign land
My hope’s that you come back again
And tell me everything’s

O-kay ay-ay-ay, ay ay-ay-ay
Bay ay-ay-abe, yeah-ay-ay-ay

[Verse 2]
Topanga’s hot today, Manson’s in the air
And all my friends have come ‘cause they still feel him here
I want to leave, I’ll probably stay another year
It’s hard to leave when absolutely nothing’s clear

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Life rocked me like Motley
Bad beginning to my new year
Life rocked me ultra-softly
Like the heavy metal that you hear

[Chorus 2]
I’m flying to the moon again
Dreaming about heroin
And how I gave you everything
And took your life away

I put you on the aeroplane
Destined for a foreign land
I thought that you’d come back again
To tell me everything’s

O-kay ay-ay-ay, ay ay-ay-ay
Bay ay-ay-abe, yeah-ay-ay-ay

It’s fking hot, hot, winter in the city
Something ‘bout this weather made these kids go crazy
It’s hot, even for February
Something ‘bout this sun has made these kids get scary

Oh oh-oh-oh, writing in blood on the walls and sht ,like
Oh, oh my God, tripping off from the walls into the darks and sht

Oh hoh-hoh-hoh, I’ll be lying if I said I wasn’t sick of it
Lead me, baby, come on, come on, come on, come on

[Chorus 3]
I’m flying to the moon again
Dreaming about marzipan
Taking all my medicine
To take my thoughts away

I’m getting on that aeroplane
Leaving my old man again
I hope that I come back one day
To tell you that I really

O-kay ay-ay-ay, ay ay-ay-ay
Bay ay-ay-abe, yeah-ay-ay-ay

Cha a-a-anged, a a-a-anged
Bay ay-ay-abe, yeah-ay-ay-ay

It’s hot, hot, something ‘bout the city
Don’t know what it is and makes my head get crazy
Oh oh-oh-oh, makes me feel like I can change
Oh hoh-hoh-hoh, all of my evil ways and sht

Mmm mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm mmm-mmm-mmm
Oh mmm-mmm-mmm, I’ll be lying if I said I wasn’t sick of it

[Pre-Chorus]
And every time you look up
I know what you’re thinking of
I know what you’re thinking of

You want my groupie love
Groupie love, groupie love

[Verse 2]
Time after time, writing my lines
Having my baby there next to me
It’s so sweet, pouring you a drink
And pretending that nothing means anything
This is my life, you by my side
Key lime and perfume and festivals
Taking our dreams, turning them to things
It’s like magic, babe, isn’t life wonderful?

[Pre-Chorus]
And every time we hook up
I know what you’re thinking of
I know what you’re thinking of

You want my groupie love
Groupie love, groupie love

[Verse 3]
Front row, every show like a hype man

Sing along word for word while she my bae
Side stage, fans screamin’ causin’ migraines

Lamborghini, [?] on my [?]
God dang, got a nigga acting irate

My babe, my babe, stay on my brain
My babe, made me sing to a fire escape

City girl, but she grew up in the tri-state
She ain’t got no time for no groupie love

We don’t pay no minds to the thug with a… love
Girls, you [?], so who do we trust?

You and I ‘til the day we die

Groupie love
Groupie love, groupie love

(You are my babe)
Groupie love, groupie love
Groupie love, groupie love

A touch
From your[B6/G] real love
It’s like [B6/F#]heaven taking the place of something evil
And lettin’ it burn off from the rush, yeah, yeah

(Chorus 1)
And darlin’, darlin’, darlin’
I fall to pieces when I’m with you
I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme

(Verse 2)
And all of my beaches are ruined
Love I said[B6/G] I need your love
It’s like [B6/F#]smiling when the firing squad’s against you
But you just stay lined up, yeah, yeah

(Chorus 2)
‘Cause darlin’, darlin’, darlin’
I fall to pieces when I’m with you
I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme

And all of my beaches are ruined
My rose garden dreams
Set on fire by fiends

And all my black beaches are ruined
My celluloid scenes
Are torn at the seams
And I fall to pieces
N.C.
I fall to pieces
N.C.
When I’m with you

(Chorus 3)
‘Cause I love you so much
I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my beaches are ruined, are ruined
Mmm mm-mm, are ruined
And I fall to pieces

[Verse 1]
There’s something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It’s coming in softly
On the wings of a bomb

There’s something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It’s coming in hotly
And it’s coming in strong

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lately I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care
Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn
I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care
Who am I to wanna try but

[Chorus 1]
Change is a powerful thing, people are powerful beings
Trying to find the power in me, to be faithful
Change is a powerful thing, I feel it coming in me
Maybe by the time’s song is done, I’ll be able

To be honest, capable
Of holding you in my arms without letting you fall
When I don’t feel beautiful or stable
Maybe it’s enough to just be where we are because

[Post-Chorus]
Every time that we run, we don’t know what it’s from
Now we finally slow down, we feel close to it
There’s a change gonna come, I don’t know where or when
But whenever it does, we’ll be here for it

[Verse 2]
There’s something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It’s coming in softly
On the wings of a song

There’s something in the water
I can taste it turning sour
It’s bitter, I’m coughing
But now it’s in my blood

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Lately I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care
Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn
I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care
Who am I to wanna try but

[Refrain 2]
Change is a powerful thing, people are powerful beings
Trying to find the power in me, to be faithful
Change is a powerful thing, I feel it coming in me
Maybe by the time’s song is done, I’ll be able

To be honest, capable
Of holding you in my arms without letting you fall
When I don’t feel beautiful or stable
Maybe it’s enough to just be where we are because

[Chorus 2]
Every time that we run, we don’t know what it’s from
Now we finally slow down, we feel close to it
There’s a change gonna come, I don’t know where or when
But whenever it does, we’ll be here for it

Yeah whenever it does, we’ll be here for it
Whenever it does, we’ll be here for it
