Am F
Like a rock, like a planet

Like a fucking atom bomb
Am F
I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness
G Em
that I encounter everywhere I turn,
Am Asus2 Am Asus2
I've seen it all before,
F F7 F F7
in books and magazines,
C C7 C C7
like a twitch before dying,
G
like a pornographic sea,
Am Asus2 Am Asus2
there's a flower behind the window,
F F7 F F7
there's an ugly laughing man,
C C7 C C7
like a hummingbird in silence,
G
like the blood on my door,
Am A#m C A#m C A#m C D#
it's the genera tor

oh yeah, oh yeah, like the blood on my door,
Am F G Em

I've known it all along
F F7 F F7
like the bone under my skin,
C C7 C C7
like actors in a photograph,
G
like paper in the wind,
Am Asus2 Am Asus2
there's a hammer by the window,
F F7 F F7
there's a knife on the floor,
C C7 C C7
like turbines in darkness,
G
like the blood on my door,
Am A#m C A#m C A#m C D#
it's the genera tor
