B   Bsus4  B      A  G F#
What is there to say?
B   Bsus4 B        A   G  F#
Still I can't be silent
B  Bsus4  B       A  G F#
Hear the cult of Ray
G             E       F#
And you'll be enlightened
                   B   A  G
People they're no fun
D        G       F#        A             E C#
I heard Raymond speak one time, he said hello
D         G       F#    A     E           C#    A
And as he opened up my mind, so fried and battered
D            G        F#   A       E    C#
I heard his words so very fine so high above
      A        F#        G      A
this constant dripping chatter

D                    A#     A#sus4 A#
Young sharks feeding on the scrapple
   E                C      Csus4 C
And upstarts on your Adam's apple
   D                         A#
And you can' hear yourself in all this babble
   C                       E
And are you feeling role strain?

Chorus:
D        A#        C
Melting rock into metal
D        A#        C
Melting rock into metal
D        A#        C      F    E
Melting rock into metal again?

D F#  C        G#
In a dark place
       F#       E
In the deep sky
      D       A
Is an old man
      B         G
In a coffee can
          B      G
And he's waiting
       B        C
In the old rain
        B       C
In the deep sky
          B      C
And he's waiting

Hear the Cult of Ray
Fear the boy as tyrant
People have a way
When their mood is violent
People, they're no fun

I had a century in mind, wait, oh no
At least two centuries in mind, wait
It does not matter
And this rock is turning into sand
While we are drowning here in our own chatter

But you can't eat dirt 'cause it tastes so awful
Like no sugar in your Turkish coffee
And I can't smile 'cause I got me a mouthful
And I've been grinding this grain

Melting rock into metal
Melting rock into metal
Melting rock into metal again

In a dark place
In the deep water
Is an old man
In a coffee can
And he's waiting
In the old rain
