But when it's right out of control

All your diamond rings and gold
All your flake and look and tongue
G D Em
I have tried and it was wrong
C Em
You tried to push me up a notch
C D
But all I made was an itchy crotch
Fornication, ass galore
G D Em
I wanted love and I want more
C Em
Muckrakers waiting for the prey

Muckrakers want me to obey
But you will never own me

Though you pay

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