[Verse 1]
G5 C5 G5 C5
When the deep blue night is running close on your track
G5 C5 G5 C5
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back
G5 C5 G5 C5
Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel
G5 C5 G5 C5
Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel
[Chorus]
Dm9 G7
Smell the perfume of a silent dream
Dm9 G7
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
Dm9 G7
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
A# N.C.
Speak to me

So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky

Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie

Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy
C5 G5 C5 G5 C5
Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die
