Verse 1
Dm                     C               G      F
Movement, no movement, just a falling bird
Dm                  C               G      F
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
   Dm                    C                     G      F
He lived and died, catch sight, cover me with earth
Dm               C                  G      F
Draped in black, static white sound
Chorus
A#                          C
A day without substance, a change of thought
A#                           C
An atmosphere that rots with time
A#                      C
Colours that flicker in water
         Dm        C  G  F
A short term effect

Verse 2
Dm                      C             G                  F
Scream, as she tries to push him over, helpless and sick
Dm                     C                    G      F
With teeth of madness, jump jump dance and sing,
Dm                     C                G                 F
Sideways across the desert, a charcoal face bites my hand
Dm               C               G              F
Time is sweet, derange and disengage everything
Chorus
A#                          C
A day without substance, a change of thought
A#                            C
The atmosphere that rots with time
A#                      C
Colours that flicker in water
         Dm        C  G  F
A short term effect

An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
