Note:  An alternate way of playing this (It's the way I play it, but 
       I've not seen them play this live so I don't know how Billy plays 
       it) is with one guitar as follows:

Lyrics:

Plant (pledged?) your faith
my heart embraced
struggle to renew

Blurry mind
so hypnotized
fast enough who..

Wonder...where you are.
Tristessa

Soul take soul
as I take eye
I will wait for you

What you believe
you'll wish to recieve.
Who to believe in who?
You.

Hang on...to your life.
Tristessa

I love you true
Surely I knew (do?)
I love you true
Surely I knew
Surely I knew
Surely I knew


Do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?
Do you ever wake up far from home?
What you believe
you'll wish to recieve.
Who to believe in who?
Tristessa
