This song is played with overlapping combo of guitar and bass,
so have someone play bass over the guitar [ remember
that basses make the same sounds on different
strings]. so if you're not happy with the intro just remember
that there is a bass overlapping to cause a " fullness " to the notes.
But then again, it was recorded in a freaking studio...

So, turn off the lights cause it's night on the sun y'all
Hopelessly hopeless I hope so, for you...
Freeze your blood and then stab into in two
Stab your blood into me and blend
I eat my own blood and I get filled up, I get filled up and then

Well it's one thing to know about this town, it's five hundred miles underground
That's all right, that's all right
Well there's one thing to know about this globe, it's bound up and willing to explode
That's all right, that's all right
There's one thing to know about this earth, we're put here just to make more dirt
That's all right, that's all right
And thats pretty much it! A fairly simple song but awsome when you master it.
I would get the cd to listen to the order and stuff.
