Everybody take your sledges
G#m F# E B
Winterland Plutocracy
F# B
Down the slope don't fear the hedges

Everybody in their box
G A
Waiting under rights of action
B D A
Raise your heads and hold your breath
G A
I can't stand your putrefaction
B D A
I can smell your brain decay
G A
As you look down at the stage and
B D A
Drive me mad and then insane
Bm D A Bm
Welcome to the show
G#m
You've been waiting for the one
E B F#
To bring you joy and ecstasy
G#m
And you've been waiting for a song
E B F#
And you demand to feel the tragedy
B F# G#m
But when it's right out of control
E
And it's not your song anymore
B
And you are ready to forget
F#
The truth that you'd been asking for
G#m E
I'm not afraid to sacrifice
F#
And I don't care bout your advice
C#m C#
As I spread my wings and fly
B D#m B
No love - it's pain you've come to feed
F# C#
In mental strain I crawl and bleed
You make me please

Forever roaming
A Bm
You will hear it scream

The cries of Speedhoven

Forever roaming
A Bm
Every starless night
F#
You will hear the cries

You'll never get:
B E F#
I'll never be the one that you want me to be
G#m E
And all the treasures that you hold
F#
All your diamond rings and gold
All your flake and look and tongue
B F# G#m
I have tried and it was wrong
E G#m
You tried to push me up a notch
E F#
But all I made was an itchy crotch
Fornication, ass galore
B F# G#m
I wanted love and I want more
E G#m
Muckrakers waiting for the prey
E F#
Muckrakers want me to obey
But you will never own me
C#
Though you pay
B D#m
This opera is haunted they will say

That's where they've driven the light insane

B E B F#
G#m E
In a cold winter night I had a vision
B
Taking me by my hand
F#
Leading me to the door
G#m
To rescue me from the wastelands
D#m E
The glance of the shining ivories
B
B world that they can't understand
F#
Out of sound, out of reason
G#m
The voice of their laughter was gone
E B
Taken away, time for a change
F#
I'm walking over
G#m E
Flying away, flying away
B
Dying into another world
F#
Pure and divine
G#m
And the laughter dies
