[Verse]
EmMy little siFster, dreaming of monGsters
when will the sEmtory come to a turFning pointG  
and make you haAmppy not being steEmpped on 
by strangers shaFdows evGery nigAmht
EmMy dearest bFrother, king of tGime
breathing your Emown made up atmosphFereG  
I was down in the dAmark when I heard you calEml
I could barely decFide where your voGice was coming frCom
[Chorus]
CAnd I ran across the waEmterG  
CWith violent winds in my EmbackG  
CYeah I saw the famous saEmdnessF  
And it filled up every cGrack
CBut if your world is mEmineG  
CAnd if your words are mEmineG  
CAnd if your blood is miEmne
Then how could I eFver leGave it behCind?
[Verse]
EmSister, sweet siFster what do you Gsee?
Dont marry a piEmcture that could never Fbe
I stand here on mGy toes to find your plAmace
I looked everyEmwhere but the story keeps slFiding fuGrhter aCway
[Chorus]
CAnd I sailed across an oEmceanG  
COn all american wiEmndsG  
COn my way towards sEmomething
FSomething my eyes had never sGeen
CBut if your world is mEmineG  
CAnd if your words are mEmineG  
CAnd if your blood is miEmne

Then how could I ever leave it behind?

EmYeah your so cFlose now, your words coming thGrough
Im sick from this lEmonging but what can I dFo?
Im hanging Gon still to this thin thAmread
Im clinging oEmn to the one thing that yFou neGver haCd
[Chorus]
CAnd I ran across a dEmesertG  
CAnd it took a thousand EmyearsG  
CBut I was never afraid of aEmnything
Cuz there was notFhing left for me to fGear
CAnd I sailed across an oEmceanG  
COn all american violent EmwindsG  
COn my way towards soEmmething
FSomething my eyes had never sGeen
