Notes: I just bought the single today (it's got a great version of "novocaine 
for the soul" on it) and i thought i might as well tab it. 
x=mute string.
Tab:

Riff 1: (the toy piano during the verse)
e|-----------------------------------|
B|------0-------4-------0------------|
G|----1-------4-------1---4--2--1----|
D|--2-------4-------2-------------4--|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|
This riff is pretty much repeated through the whole song (listen to the song
to hear where it is and is not played)

Chords: (during, what you would probably call, the chorus)
E B A B
e|--0-------7-------5-------7--------|
B|--0-------7-------5-------7--------|
G|--1-------8-------6-------8--------|
D|--2-------9-------7-------9--------|
A|--2-------9-------7-------9--------|
E|--0-------7-------5-------7--------|
These chords are played at the bit with the wierd voice singing "hey, ya, ye ye
he, ya, ye ye" (the record scratching) 

muted chord riff: 
B A A
e|--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-7-5-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-5--|
B|--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-7-5-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-5--|
G|--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-8-6-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-6--|
D|--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-9-7-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-7--|
A|--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-9-7-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-7--|
E|--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-7-5-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-5--|
This riff is played several times, after the synchro break.

O.K. here's the song lyrics: (and also a guide to where the riffs go, in brakets)

(riff 1 x3)
(riff 1 repeated from here....)
Your dead but the world keeps spinning,
take a spin through the world you've lived,
it's getting dark a little to early,
are you missing the dearly ?? raft.


Take a flight and you could be here tommorow,
take a flight well you could get here tonight,
I,m gonna fly on down for the last stop in this town,
what, i'm gonna fly on down and fly away,
well alright.
(....to here)

(chords played x4)
hey ha ye ye hey ha ye ya,
ha ye ye hey ha ye ya,
taking a spin through the neighbourhood,
the neighbours scream what ya talking about,
'cause i don't know how to let you in,
and i can't let you out.

(other bits that i can't be bothered to tab)
What if i was not your only friend in this world,
can you take me where you're going,
if you're never coming back.


I,m gonna fly on down for the last stop in this town,
i'm gonna fly on down and fly away on my way,

(muted chord riff x6)
hey ha ye ye hey ha ye ya,
ha ye ye hey ha ye ya,
(riff 1 repeated to the chords)
ha ye ye hey ha ye ya,
ha ye ye hey ha ye ya,
When we take a ride away up high through the neighbourhood,
all built of the billboards and the factorys and smoke,
I,m gonna fly on down for the last stop in this town,
yeah, i'm gonna fly on down and fly away on my way.


fly away.

(chords played x2 and riff 1 x2)
hey ha ye ye hey ha ye ya,
ha ye ye hey ha ye ya,

	You need to make a little bit more of an effort not to be retarded enough to disrespect the artist's intention, deckard. kthnxplayagaindrvthrubyebye

	Man. I thought this site was about your own interpretation on song lyrics. Like I fully give a fat about what it really meant to E.. To me it's about suburbia. Suburban living and growing up with the complacency surrounding you. It's all too conservative and stale because something nasty. It's like you can always see it there. Maybe it's those dirty scratches? But the emotionless view on death. And fun found through joy rides. Dunno. Maybe you could see it that way. Or you could take the easy option and say the last paragraph is about getting high.

	this song has been on repeat for a few hours. pretty good, i must say.

	sebharper - You might be onto something. Maybe it's coincidence. To me, a ghost of someone flying over the town looking at life without them seems like a well-known theme in art and music. So I dunno. But it's cool that you can make those connections. This song seems really personal to him, so I doubt that he did it intentionally. If he wanted the listener to relate to that, wouldn't he have more stuff from the play? So I dunno. You really could be right. He could have been inspired by the play. I like how this song captures the feeling of flying. I don't know why, but it just does. I think it's the running electronic or whatever line in the background, like it's flowing like the two of them or just his sister flying over the town. By the way, the music video for this song's really weird. I think it has a carrot singing the words.

	I can understand how this was E's way of letting out his emotions on his sisters' death...I have never experienced a death of someone that close, and cannot relate in that way, though. My own personal interpretation is that this song is about someone who leaves your life, whether through death, moving or some other fashion, and sadly, for other people things just seem to go on the same without them, as though they made no difference. For me however, my world would be turning a bit more slowly, and if it was someone as close as a select few of my best friends, it would be hard for me to go on without them as usual. I can relate to this very well right now, my girlfriend (as most people would call her, we personally dont like the label) recently moved to South Carolina, and while we are staying together, its been difficult getting along without her. And, although it doesn't have to do with this song, I really wish I could look at the postings for one song and have them not be people arguing over stupid stuff. And yes, I do have to agree with Deckard on this, the box I am typing in now says "What does this song mean to you?", not "what was the artist thinking when they wrote this song?"

	i most often visit this site when i want to find out what the artist wrote the song about (i think this is a beautiful song with a beautiful meaning, flying over his town with his sister before she goes to heaven) and if that isnt available here, to hear other peoples interpretations of [i]the song's[/i] meaning, whether it is actually what it was written about or how someone interprets it. because that can also be interesting to read.
