Bb F/A Eb
I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice
G Bb Dd B
'Are they worms or are the serpents?' bubbled through the ice
Ab/C B G/B F
The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice
A/E E B Bb
While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my choice
INTRO RIFF HERE:
Next verse has the same chords, except that just before going to a chorus, the last
is an E instead of a Bb.
Chorus:
G D
He's fallen on the ice it cracks
Dm7 C
Will he plunge in and join me here?
G D
Meets my eyes to my surprise
F D
Laughs the full light of my frown
My double wants to pull me down
E
