Fm Gm D#
We drive around this town
G# A# Gm7
Houses melting down
Fm Gm D#
a vision turning green
G# A# Gm7
Is all we've ever seen

D#            Fm    A#
And then it's dark again

a new development
Wishing that it meant
Something natural
Don't we know it's cruel

And it goes dark again
Just like a spark

Hallucination comes
Think of everyone
That never shared before
From my mouth to yours

And then it's dark again
Just like a spark
And then it vanishes
No one around
And then it comes again
Just like a spark
And then we're vanishing
No one around
And then it comes again
Just like a spark

D#                     Cm7                       A#
You go to school, you follow all the rules, you live inside
D#               Cm7                            A#
Realize there's something in your eyes, you're back again
D#             Cm7                           A#
From the spine rising through the mind, you give it up
              D#
(Just like a spark)
             Cm7                      A#
It's a gift taken from the lips, you live again

D#        Cm7       A#
Make it, wave it, alive
D#        Cm7       A#
Make it, wave it, alive
