[Intro: ]C Dm G
 
C
There's glass in the park,
Dm G Dm
Darling, I can't help but keep making appointments,
G C
to sweep beneath the climbing frame.
C
If the sun's in your eyes,
Dm G
I'll tighten your blindfold, baby.
Dm G
Don't worry your foot won't get cut,
C Dm
strut carelessly.
G
When you say that you need me tonight,
Am F
I can't keep my feelings in disguise,
Dm G Am Dm
the white parts of my eyeballs illuminate.
F C
I'll wait for you,
F C Dm
As if I'm waiting for a stone to stop.
 
I've heard them talking,
G
about how I'm gonna put you off
C
There's glass in the park,
Dm G
and now that I'm up off my knees,
Dm G
I've picked up the speed,
C
to jump your palaces.
 
And I shoot through the night,
Dm G Dm G
nd suddenly all those once lost concoction's froth,
C
and chase the day away.
Dm G
when you say that you need me tonight,
Am
i can't keep my feelings in disguise,
Dm G Am Dm
the white parts of my eyeballs illuminate.
F C
I'll wait for you,
F C Dm
As if I'm waiting for a stone to stop.
 
i've heard them talking,
G
i'm gonna put you off.
 
F E
you tell me, how can i put you off, when you're a matter of urgency?
Am F
i've got a million things that i need to do, but they're all secondary.
E
make sure you're not followed,
Am
and meet me by the death balloon.
Dm G
pasolini woman, i'm your man on the moon,
Dm
and like a grain of diamond dust, you float,
G E C
and my devotion's outer, crust... cracks
