G#
In the night where I live,
          C#
There's strange force in your kiss oh.
       G#             C#
All's divine in desire.

G#
With an ire of philosophy,
C#
Burning scrolls in the naked heat,
G#                               C#
Oh how coy is your little boy. No!

         D#            C#
Cause I know it don't read that well. Yeah!

Chorus:
G#     Cm           C#               Cm      D#
I got buried; no it won't be long, before I rise in.
G#     Cm           C#                 D#
I got buried; no it won't be long. Yeah!

In the night, where I live
Your children sway; they fuel the kitsch
Raise their glass to Soviet crimes
In the war and in shadows

I write in tongues of old
Fumes are falling, smelling burned
Like always
Yes, always. Now, hear!

'Cause I know
It don't read that well
And I know
Only time will tell me

Chorus:
I got (I got)
Buried (buried)
No, it won't be long
Before I rise in—
I got (I got)
Buried (buried)
No, it won't be long
Before I rise in song!

And I know
It don't read that well, yeah!

Chorus:
I got (I got)
Buried (buried)
No, it won't be long
Before I rise in—

I got (I got)
Woah, buried (buried)
But no!
'Cause I know I got you!
