Intro E|-----|F#F# Cut glass porcupine sailing on the Serpentine Fingers on the skyline pulling down the black blinds Terminal eyes at the edge of the night Rivulet of dark wine moving in a straight line Smudging out the stop signs, running down the life lines Terminal eyes at the edge of the nightG# Shadows on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing, Tarot cards revealing, a solitary feeling Terminal eyes, but I think it's alrightC# Silver studded jet plane screaming through the migraine Cutting through the cellophane, wrappers of your tired brainContinues after the adTerminal eyes - put out the light ChorusB D Terminal Eyes, only the lonelyE B Arabian skiesB D Terminal Eyes, calling you homeE B C# from your restless disguise.
