The place is here the here is inside you

Pretty with the critical mass

Lying at the foot of a linden
      F                    G   F

Give me green and ribbon red

Look at you all mythicalogical

Look how I forget who I was
Before I was the way I am with you
Where did you come from, you?

Needing nothing
But the sun that's in our eyes
Paint the picture
In blood and butter
Holy water
Fire in the sky

Chorus:
Let me dive
Through your face
To the sweetest kind of pain
Call you up
Nothin' to say
No, I don't need no entertaining
When the world
Is a bed
Give me green and ribbon red
Oh, I get
Closer than your new tattoo

Closer than your
