[Verse 1]
C F
Loosen the wire, your time has expired,
Am G
The only word left now is goodbye.
G F
In my new dream the light's shining on me,
F F
Little needles of sodium unstitch the seams of the sky.

[Verse 2]
C F
Hold your head higher, the heavenly choir,
Am G
Is settling in for the night.
G F
And where I had friends, I am left with loose ends,
F F
Four hours of vision exchanged for four hours of
G
fright. But enough of the
[Chorus 1]
C
Fight. Enough you and
F
I. Enough of
Em
Prevail or walk in the
F
Light. While the angels stand
C
By I get high as a
F
Kite. I'm too tired to
Em
Smile, or know that I'm
F F G G
Right. Am I right?

[Bridge]

And all our best-laid
G
Plans, well, they
C G Am
Crumbled in our hands.
Am G G
Our flags fell where they'd fanned.
F G
You held in your breath long
C G Am
After. projections of death,
Am G
You sat in the waiting rasping and gasped on dry land.
[Verse 3]
C F
But the audience is tired, we've had enough fire,
Am G
We're entering the age now of ice,
G F
And I, feeling older, pull off to the shoulder,
F F G
And wonder, with my head in my hands, should I call my wife,
G
And say enough you and
[Chorus 2]
C
I. Enough of the
F
Fight. Enough of
Em
'Prevail', or walk in the
F
light. While the angels stand
C
By, I get high as a
F
Kite. I'm too tired to
Em
Smile, or know that I'm
F
Right. Enough you and
C
I. Enough of the
F
Fight. Enough of
Em
Prevail or walk in the
F
Light. And when the spacecraft came
C
Down, I was left on the
F
Ground. Will you keep me
Em
Around? Will you help me
F F
Survive? After my
G G
time.
