intro :

C x 4

C
avalanche looms overhead
airplane flies overhead
important man sits by the window
sucked out of the first class window
images run by , thousand miles an hour
but the time seems far away
folding clothes in a folding closet
folding money in a resume

D
time to let off some pressure
time to let off some steam
all your notebooks get thrown away
and you start your diary clean
G
crystal glass lined up in a row
watched over by the G . i . joes
sugar in your coffee doesn’t taste quite right
feeling the effects for a hundred thousand nights

C x 4

C
when civilization falls in its grave
technology throws on the dirt
you realize the finest things in life
are the ones that can never be hurt
D
time to let off some pressure
time to let off some steam
all your notebooks get thrown away
and you start your diary clean
G
crystal glass lined up in a row
watched over by the G . i . joes
sugar in your coffee doesn’t taste quite right
feeling the effects for a hundred thousand nights
C x 8

D x 4

G x 4

C ( to end )
shatters your brain in a million tiny pieces
the sounds you hear aren’t coming out right
you think it might be mystic , you think i might be cryptic
the crystal in your china case is breaking in a million tiny pieces
