verse 1
Em
Naked but for tears- While the sky falls down

Panting for the rush- Hissing thru the crowd
Em
Waving at the wheels But I can't slow down

I'm riding- Riding thru your town-
[Refrão]

So say what you got to say
C Em
Play, but you got to pay-

Heavy is the head- But you wear no crown

Hang it In the sky And step inside your dream

I know what I know And with the lights down low

I'm riding- Riding down your street
[Refrão]

She went to California
Painted in light

Til all the colors ran-
Wild

You came to mesmerize her-

She came with consequences in her eyes-
In her eyes-
Deep in her eyes

Listen in the distance- As the sky begins to fall

Raining down like crystalline Apocalypse in thrall

Once there was a way-

Then you were gone
