Intro:
Riff I a few times.
Riff I
The beatiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to feel small
from high up above
and after a glimpse
Fill I
Over the top
Riff I
The rest of the world
Fill I
Becomes a gift shop.
Riff I x 2
Riff II
The pendulum swings
for the horse like a man
out over the rim
is ice cream to him
D5 D5 C5 A5
the beautiful lull da da da duh
C5 C5 D5 G5
the dangerous tug da da da duh
D5 D5 C5 A5
we get to fell small
G5
but not out of place at all
Some solo thing I can't get goes here. Use this scale.

Additional lyrics:
We're forced to bed
but we're free to dream
all us human extras,
all us herded beings
and after a glimpse
over the top
the rest of the world
becomes a gift shop.
I don't know what to believe.
Sometimes I even forget
and if its a lie,
terrorists made me say it
the beautiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to fell small
from high up above
from high up above

| Jus maken a post, and complimenting on how well they pull it off on the album "Live Between Us". I have no clue what the lyrics mean, but its a real good song to listen to. I think a band can do anyting if they have 5 hours for every song to master it in the studio, but to pull it off perfect live, in front of thousands of people, it takes some real talent earned only through hard work and experiance. I'm a guitarist and i know how hard it is to make live stuff sound good... plus the crowd will mess yeh up. | |
