G C
When I was just a little boy
C G
I threw away all of my action toys
G C G C
While I became obsessed with Operation
G C
With hearts and minds and certain glands
C G
You gotta learn to keep a steady hand
G C G C
And thus began my morbid fascination
D Em
Tore the spines from out of all of these self-help books
Am Em
Made myself a gun that not only shoots but looks
C
So real
D
Yeah it shoots through steel
G C
With rays of darkmatter
G C
Rays of darkmatter
G C
Do you wonder where the self resides
C G
Is it in the head or between your sides
G C
And who would be the one who will decide
G C
Its true location
G C
And does the thought of all this red and black
C G
Thought of tongues that taste you back
G C G C
Fill you with the nausea of elation
D Em
The noose is loosed around our necks made of DNA
D Am Em
And every day it's growing tighter, no matter what they do or say

Just before they kick out
G C
They kick out the ladder
G
With rays of darkmatter

Oh no

Rays of darkmatter
C G
Oh no
C
Yah, like something catching fire
G C G C
Oh no
G C
Do you wonder where the self resides

And who would be the one who will decide

Its true location
