Dm                      C              G   F
Movement, no movement, just a falling bird
Dm                    C            G F
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
    Dm                    C                   G      F
He lived and died, catch sight, cover me with earth
Dm              C                  G  F
Draped in black, static white sound

Chorus:
A#                            C
A day without substance, a change of thought
A#                            C
An atmosphere that rots with time
A#                       C
Colours that flicker in water
         Dm        C G F
A short term effect

Scream as she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick
With teeth of madness, jump, jump, dance and sing
Sideways across the desert, a charcoal face bites my hand
Time is sweet, derange and disengage everything

Chorus

                Dm  C  G  F
A short term effect
   Dm             C                 G               F
An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
   Dm             C                 G               F
An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
