Dan Black – Symphonies   (Album: UN)  (2009)

F,  C,  G,  F  (x2)

I come disguise, I was hypnotized

Lost a track, struggled back

I wanted easy stuff to please me

Something in the dark began to squeeze me

Seen it, there, then there in the mirror

Totally focused, no hocus pocus

Dare I give in to this thing grip-pin’ my skin

To win, thinking how to

 F,   Em,     G,   F    

As the lights of a car go by in a stream

Seems like I stand pretty much unseen

But I open my eyes and beams come out

C                                               G                                            C,  G

Gimme, gimme, symphonies,  Gimme more than the life I see

C                                               F                                              

Score adds up, Angels play,  Let my loneliness get blown away

C                                               G                                            C,  G

Gimme, gimme, symphonies,  Gimme more than the life I see

I lie down in the dust just under your eye

A scrap of paper, thin as vapor

Filling my clothes like smoke

A couple of the wires in my heart are broke

I throw, I miss, something, nothing

But Dreams, schemes, moments wasted

Taste I tasted, Fate I’m fated

Re-edited again then copy pasted  [chorus]

When I wanna quit, I suffocate it

I chew bubblicious, stress repetitious

Vicious, I’m one outside you

Up above the streets on the DCY-er

Higher, fire, in my guts

In a rut, but what I’ve got

Is in no can, no other human

But I do get lonely, scared I’m phony, [chorus]

Gimme, gimme symphonies,   Gimme more than the life I see {x2}
