C#m Em ( vii )
you tell them you don’t know how to live
Bm Dm A
caught in the act of making up your deathbed on the wake

C#m Em ( vii )
wake up you’re dreaming your head’s starving
Bm
you’re digging up the plants you love
Dm
because you heard the stars were root – bound
A
they’re root – bound

C#m Em ( vii )
wake up your dancing dancing lifeless legs
Bm Dm
they’re antennas are picking up the sounds that whales make
A
whale song is love

C#m Em ( vii )
well they can’t help it ah we can’t help it
Bm
following the signals from the deep we pay off the cross – road
Dm A
gods with our accidents

C#m Em ( vii )
initiation catch you in the act
Bm
of thinking you were doing something else
Dm A
by going for a sunday dive head – first

suddenly it’s dark out too dark to swim
Bm
lord the water’s got it in for us
Dm A
and we’re perpetually half – in caught in the act
