[Intro]
F# D#m G#m C#7
[Verse 1]
F# D#m G#m C#7
The spring is in the streets again
F# C#7 F#
And too many seasons gone by
D#m A#7
We move to cruise
B F#
And stare at ourselves
C# F# C# F#
Hoping to find someone half-blind
C# F# C# F#
Somebody who will make us new
C# F#
To hold in the night
C# F#
Guard us from fright
B F# C# C#7
Change all that's gone for the new
[Chorus]
F# D#m G#m C#7
While in our very city there lives
F# C# F#
A unicorn of old
D#m A# B F#
The queen that holds the unicorn
C# F#
Will be reborn
C# F#
His mighty horn
C# F#
Falls on that day
C# F#
Storms pass away
C# F#
Night turns to day
C# F#
The whole world is gay
B F# C# C#7
Angels descend from the sky
[Verse 2]
F# D#m G#m C#7
The trucks are cold and barren again
F# C#7 F#
And the numbers have all turned to jade
D#m A# B F#
I search for a way to tear out my eyes
C# F#
So I won't see
C# F#
The dying tree
C# F#
Fall to its knees
C# F#
And as it must
C# F#
With fragments of lust
C# F#
Return to dust
B F# C# C#7
Then we are gone in the night
[Chorus]
F# D#m G#m C#7
While in our very city there lives
F# C# F#
A real live unicorn
D#m A# B F#
The queen who captures the unicorn
C# F#
Is virgin again
C# F#
Just touching its hand
C# F#
Wisdom is hers
C# F#
Focus from blurs
C# F#
Possessing the key
C# F#
Brings life to the tree
B F# C# C#7
And makes it grow taller again
[Verse 3]
F# D#m G#m C#7
The sanctuary's crowded again
F# C#7 F#
The poisons are all passed around
D#m A# B F#
Each star walks in, we turn to the door
C# F#
Our eyes leave our head
C# F#
The zombies are dead
C# F#
Just walking around
C# F#
Held to the ground
C# F#
Our feet are bound
C# F#
Obeying each sound
B F# C# C#7
Waiting to meet god knows who
[Chorus]
F# D#m G#m C#7
While in our very city there lives
F# C# F#
A real live unicorn
D#m A# B F#
The queen who holds the unicorn
C# F#
Will be reborn
C# F#
His mighty horn
C# F#
Falls on that day
C# F#
Storms pass away
C# F#
Night turns to day
C# F#
The whole world is gay
B F# C# F#
Angels descend from the sky
