G#m G B
Watching the girl straddle the world
F# G#m
Just like the snake that swallows it's tail
G B
You know that I've been where I wasn't seen
F#
Kissing temptation under the veil
[Interlude]
G#m G B F# x2
[Verse 2]
G#m G B
I was alone, walking back home
F# G#m
When she reached out and took hold of me
G B
Shook my sense out, said not to doubt
F#
That we were naked, you can never go home
[Chorus]
G#m G
Still the sirens, sing a whale song
B F#
Covered up by machinery hum
G#m G
While we're kept here, separated
B F#
And banging on our windows
[Verse 3]
G#m G B
Said we were pent up in an accident
F# G#m
Verging on nowhere, oh, we gonna spread
G B
Spreading it wide, breaking inside
F#
With no past to cling to, to turn back the tide
[Chorus]
G#m G
Let the screen fall, 'til the heart stalls
B F#
Let your chain out, keep your control
G#m G
While we're kept here, insatiated
B F#
By the needs we've fabricated
[Solo]
G#m G B F# x4
[Chorus]
G#m G
Still the sirens, sing a whale song
B F#
Covered up by machinery hum
G#m G
While we're kept here, domesticated
B F#
And banging on our windows
[Verse 4]
G#m G B
Watching the girl straddle the world
F# G#m
Just like the snake that swallows it's tail
G B
You know that I've been where I wasn't seen
F# G#m
Kissing temptation under the veil
[Outro]
G B F#
Veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil
G#m G B F#
Veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil
G#m G B F#
Veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil, veil
