G G G G
GWindows in a silent room sunlight burns the walls to black
Am Angles and dimensions melt while colors drip and pillows crack
Bm Reflections of my memories like pictures pasted on a sheet
Am The ribbon film of separate frames lGying curled up at my feet
GThe film is just a snake design and the pDhotoF#graphs are fading fast
FThese are not memories of mine I hGave no future no past
DI've seen a thousand afternoons dissolve into the night
DLike sugar crystals on a spoon they disappear from sight
GEm7ray days from the cArispest morning to the wGarmest afF#mternoon Em7 in this rAoom
DAnd I like to draw the face I saw so long ago C
DMy image in the mirror tCells the jagged lines wDhich way to go
Em7 The black and white dAescription of the sGole survivor oF#mf the Holocaust
GAll the rest were lost
GDo you see this paper face? It has no color or no mood
Am My eyes are ageless as am I. I need no sleep I need no food
Bm I an a king but like a child the other children laugh at me
TAmongues of fire wagging wild Gthey dance around me merrily
GI'll kill them all and if I fail ID'll F#kill whoever I can find
FThen they'll beg me to be kind
DMy eyes have seen far more than eyes can ever tell
DThis planet plunged through mushroom fires of earthly hell
Em7 I know that my sweet JAesus said that hDe'd retF#murn
But BEm7abylon has fAallen and the cGities G7burn D
