F
Mild apprehension
       Dm                     A/E
Blank dreams of the coming fun
F
Distort the odds of a turnaround
      Dm                    A
Gut screams out next to none
           B
So turn it on
        E
Tune it in
         A
And stay inert
         F
You say "I've got the backbone"
         Dm                   A
The back way to escape the gun
F
Climbing a tree with a missing limb
        Dm           A
And not saving anyone
            B
And now it hurts
            E
To stay at home and see

A
Flash
The mirror ball's throwing mold
    Dm
You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
          B
See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
           E
So if you must smash a glass
first fill it to the hilt

F
Plants
As far as I know are still,
C              A
Still bending toward the light
           F
And if we dance
Until the heart explodes
      Dm                A
It'll make this place ignite
F                 G
And even if this hall collapses
C                  Am                  F
I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just
   Dm            A
A case of Flash Delirium

F
Here's a growing culture
Deep inside a corpse
Dm
Ages stuck together
A
Taking it to the source
F
Timeless desperation
C
Pictures on a screen scream
Dm          A
"hey people, what does it mean?"

F                Fm
Comfort keeps us nice
    C              A
So quick to donate everything
     B                               E
Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling
     F      Fm        C
And time's tingling spines
 A                 B
Attaching hands to floor
     E
The rosy-tinted

A
Flash
The hot dog's getting cold
           Dm
And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones
           B
Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt
           E
Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt

F
Why close one eye and try to
C                  Am
Pledge allegiance to the sun
F                               Dm         A
When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone
F          G
Geometric troops aligning
C       C/B       Am
Carried up to the burial mounds
F
My earthbound heart is heavy
C               Am
Your heartbeat keeps things light
F                          Dm              A
With the violence forever threatening the night
    F             G
And even if this hall collapses
C                  Am                  B
I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust
                      E
That our heads won't bust

F                  G#
Six six, five five red battleships
      C/G
Forty earthlike planets
      A
Three holes two tits
    B/F#
One fork in it's side
     E
Zero tears in their eyes

F
Sue the spiders
Sink the W:oelsh
G#
Stab your facebook
Sell sell sell
C/G
Undercooked
Overdone
A
Mass adulation not so funny
B/F#
Poisoned honey
Pseudo science
E
Silly money
                A
You're my honey
