This is a dangerous tale
C          G D Em
Of oxygen and flame
      G
Tale of running away
C       G D Em
Nowhere to run

All I can see is you
Em       G             C
Visions of water in the desert sun
 G  D
Stay...

Things gonna get real slow today
 G       C          Bm
Things gonna get real slow today

Takes one prisoner

Takes one to show him the way

Then comes this lesson in natural history

And these ladies are laughing at me
Can I join the fun?
I know I'm haunted, keeps the flame
bright
I guess I can say I'm alright
Just a burning arrow stuck in my heart
Well, anyway...

And some people say that
We shouldn't cross this line
But there is no line
Only the sky
I want to see you smile
Want to feel us get up and fly
Shouldn't we?

Things gonna get real slow today
Things gonna get real slow today
Takes one prisoner
Takes one to show him the way
Then comes this lesson in natural history
