C                  F
Earth, sky, scenery.
C                         F
Is she coming back again?
C                          F
Men of straw, snooker hall.
C                           F
Words that build or destroy
C                F      C     F
Dirt dry, bone, sand and stone.

C                             F
Barbed wire fence cut me down.
C                   F
I'd like to be around
C
in a spiral staircase
Am                  G
To the higher ground.
               Am           G
And I, like a firework, explode.
       F                  C
Roman candle, lightning, lights up the sky.

C                     F     C        F
In cracked streets, trample underfoot.
 C          F   C
Side-step, sidewalk.
   F        C   F      C
I see you stare into space.
 F           C            F        C
Have I got closer now, behind the face?

Am        G               Am
Oh, tell me, Cherry you dance with me
          G
Turn me around tonight
                 F
Up through the spiral staircase
        C
to the higher ground.

C
Slide show, seaside town.
Coca-cola, football radio,
radio, radio, radio, radio, radio.
