Notes
~~~~~
Well. Piece of fish, really. The more observant of you will have noticed that
riff 5 is just an octave higher than riff 3. Riff 4 is *very* hard to hear,
because of all the stuff going on in the background, however I think I've got
it just about right. If you're feeling adventurous, use a power chord instead
of an open A in riff 1. It's played sort of like this:
Opening : Riffs 1 & 2
Verse : Riff 2
"When I feel..." : Riffs 1 & 2
"Can't wake up" : Riffs 3 & 4
Lyrics (taken from the sleeve from "Elizium" with the odd extra bit)
~~~~~~
He said: how lonely you are
Waiting at the sunday park
I'll elude you
I will loose you
Existing
We're no soul apart
You stand
Stand on a platform
Your effigy dissolves in my hands
When I feel
Like someone to lie on
And I feel
Like someone to rely on
You can't wake up, you can't wake up
You can't wake up...
Illusions
Born of the air
Something
Seems so precious there
I'll elude you
I will loose you
As rehersal of my despair
When I feel
Like someone to lie on
And I feel
Like someone to die on
You can't wake up, you can't wake up
You can't wake up...
Oh here me
I'm what you have left
Here I am
In this necrologue of love
~~~~~~
Personally I don't think Carl (dear as he is) can spell: "here me" indeed. I'm
sure he says "lose" instead of "loose" as well. Perhaps if it was anyone else
it could be called ambiguity, but I've heard the man talk.

"I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gaped wide,
And I awoke and found me here,
On the cold hill's side." -John Keats, after a surge of clairvoyance,
found himself looking into the 80's.
