They're leading the blind with their international glories.

I cried the other night. I can't even say why.

Fluorescent flat    caffeine lights, its furious balancing.
Eb                  Dm             F7               G7
I'm the screen, the blinding light, I'm the screen, I work at night.

The ocean machine is set to 9

I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine.
   C      Dm         Am    Em
My bed is pulling me, gravity.
