When does sky turn into space, and air into wind?
Verse2:
The only things I really need is water, a gun, and rabbits.
Let me rest my fevered cheek upon your warm sweet bellies.
Chorus2:
In the bloody elevator goin' to the bright theater now, come on boys.
Please let me taste the clean dirt in my lungs and moss on my back.
NOTE: In the second chorus, the words "Please let me taste..." fall on the descending
notes of the D chord. Also, intro/outro same as verse chords.
