    Bm C      Bm C
It feels in dreams
That everything is there for you
The city breathes and pulses
It's fuel electron blue
    F#
I knew that you could see right through it

So this is where
I give in to the machine
Lift up your voice
feel gravity's pull
Drown out the siren's ring (or silent dream)

Chorus:
     Am
It's all here where I keep it
     Dm
It's all in the submarine
     Am
It's all a lot less frightening
     Dm
than you would have had it be
     Am
But that's the good news my darling
   Dm
It is what it's going to be
    C                  Bm
So sing, sing for the submarine

I tried to explain how it all begins
How its all destroyed and built again
I knew that you could not believe me
But now you're here and it's different
How the light shines in your eyes

In every second or situ
It's then that I realised
That the world as we know it
The High speed train
We'll pick it all up and start again


Chorus

The city did not collapse in a shudder
The rain it never came
At least my confessions made you laugh
I know it's a little crazed
But these dreams...
They seem so real to me

Chorus

So this is where you trust me
And this where it begins
It's all a lot less frightening
Your tear you let it in
Tyrel and his mechanical owl

A moth disguised as a leaf
Don't tell me what tomorrow brings
Climb into the hidden machine and
sing sing sing sing sing sing
sing sing for the submarine
