GOh, what a sun
That's just Dminlike the one
That used to shine on Cme
Now it bleaches out my fading inspiGration
There on the lawn
Iron Dminmonument
Dim shape in the Cdawn
so familiar, stands engaged in oxiGdation
EminSee the sign that Greads:
"On the Eminland and on the Gsea
He's the Eminman who set the F#minnation free"
We're Call his children
GSay this soil will yield
fruit and Dminivory
amber waves of Cgrain
and though it rains, this field has fallen Gfallow
So Eminwhen the harvest Gfails
does the Eminfarmer weep and Gwail?
Are there Eminhothouse orchids on the F#mindusty trail?
Cmin
AThis might come as a Dminstart
but it's Aalready fallen aDminpart
GminIron Frusts in Bbrain
GDead dog in the sky
aspires to Dminbe admired
These flaming creatures Cshine
like stars as he projects them on the Gceiling
Sleep your life away
to Time's hypDminnotic sway
Six years to the Cday
but where we began, I can't reGmember
EminOnly freaks reGmain
like the EminComte de St. GerGmain
A calEminliope plays that F#minhaunting strain
of Cminsweet remembrance
AI see ghosts every Dminnight
like a Asmile that fades in the Dminlight
Gminof this Fpleasure Bbdome
ADiamonds melt in your Dminhand
Cotton Acandy is made out of Dminsand
GminIron Frusts in Bbrain
FCopper Gkills the Cpain
GTin is Bbmuch too Fweak
FRising CMercuGry
GWaiting in the dark
for the Dminshow to start
Outside in the Cpark
You don't notice the parade is passing Gby
Do you Emindream in black and Gwhite?
Do you Eminwish for second Gsight?
Can you Eminname the things you Glove?
Can you Eminsee the place where
GEast is nowhere
CSouth is nowhere
EminWest is nowhere
CNowhere leads back Ghome

Iron monument

Dim shape in the dawn

so familiar, stands engaged in oxidation

Emin G

Emin G

"On the land and on the sea

Emin F#min

He's the man who set the nation free"

We're all his children

Say this soil will yield

fruit and ivory

amber waves of grain

Are there hothouse orchids on the dusty trail?

A Dmin

This might come as a start

A Dmin

but it's already fallen apart

Gmin F Bb

Iron rusts in rain

Dead dog in the sky

aspires to be admired

These flaming creatures shine

like stars as he projects them on the ceiling

Sleep your life away

to Time's hypnotic sway

Six years to the day

but where we began, I can't remember

Only freaks remain

East is nowhere

South is nowhere

Emin

West is nowhere

C G

Nowhere leads back home
