In the GEuropean late October Dnights
Stay Eminside with your Bmdoubts
In the Gquest of what it's worthwhile or just Dtrite
On the Emcouch, hypnoBmtized
It's a Gsmall step for humanity, a Dgiant step for me
I've been Awaiting for your kick to set me Gfree
[Chorus]
BmI saw it in Jesus, saw it in SuperDman
BmGot it from whiskey like any loser Dcan
GBeen running on empty, I leave all in your Emhands
Now show me what to Gdo
I'm listening to Bmyou
[Verse 2]
You've been Ghiding in the bosom of my Ddream
Now the Bmclock sets the Hmscene
We're been Geagerly awaiting your Dentrée
What to Emdo? What to Bmsay?
All the Gtrivialities are out of Dfocus in my mind
All I Areally wish is you'll be doing Gfine
[Chorus]
BmI saw it in Jesus, saw it in SuperDman
BmGot it from whiskey like any loser Dcan
GBeen running on empty, I leave all in your Emhands
Now show me what to Gdo
I'm listening to Bmyou
