Hieroglyphs

F                     F
Stamping your heels along with the 
drum
Dm                    Dm        
Praying the serpent's underneath
C         (F)
 one of 'em
F                         F
Like there's some villain left to 
defeat
Dm                        Dm
Instead of a dance with a rhythm and
 beat!

       F                    F
‘Cause you've been too busy thinking
 ahead
   Dm                    Dm
Of where we're all going after we're
 dead
   F                  F
To maybe consider our bodies are 
worth
Dm                      Dm
More than the dust that we can 
return

Continues after the ad
       Bb        Dm Gm Bb     Dm
To the ground again! (around again)
             Gm        Bb       
We turn that old wheel round 
Dm   Gm  Bb  C
again!


[Verse 2]
      F                 F
Well, even the great celestial 
hieroglyphs
    Dm               Dm   C
Are bodies of dust illuminated, and 
if
    F                   F
The heavens can be both sacred and 
dust
Dm          Dm7
  Oh, maybe so can the rest of us!

       F                     F
‘Cause I've seen the line of ocean 
and shore
    Dm               Dm
The tumbling tide of water and soil
    F                   F
And I've seen the day's fading begin
    Dm                   Dm       
The gradient wake of the sun that 
C
spins

  Bb      F     Bb     F
Around again! (around again)
                          Bb     
It'll burn that old wheel down in 
     F     Bb C
the end!
