          Am        D                Am
When the deep blue night is running close on your
  D
track
             Am             D      Am
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin'
             D
across your back

Don't take me so real that you
forget how to feel
Don't let the threat of the dagger
turn your heart into steel

Chorus:
Em9                    Am7
Smell the perfume of a silent dream
Em9                   Am7
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
Em9                   Am7
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
C
Speak to me

So you think that star cluster shining
bright in the sky
Will speak the fate of your evening, tell
the truth to your lie

Don't let the features you read control
the tickets you buy
Soon as you learn that you live, you're
just beginning to die
