Wear the blue lights
Dm7               G
Wear the red dress
        C
Puppet dancing on strings
Dm7            G
Balalaika and singing

Chorus:
     Am       Dm
The tenement blocks come crashing down
G               Gm            F            C 
With headphones on you won't hear that much
Dm               C       G 
There's nothing fake on earth
 G                            C      G 
There are strings attached to all of us
Am         G#m         C          D
There's nothing in the end, only dust
    F              G
So turn the music up
I'm hitting the hard stuff

Flew to Belgrade
Stayed in a hotel sinking
Went to museums, tobacco, and midweek grave digger

Chorus:
The tenement blocks came crashing down
With headphones on you won't hear that much
There's nothing fake on earth
There are strings attached to all of us
There's nothing in the end, only dust
When you pull the lever down
I'll be hitting the hard stuff
