B7               E7
Persistent mystic  faults my vision
B7                        E7
Its like always this point  of collision
B7                E7
Its raining in my  cranium
    F#7        G7      D7
My head feels like a stadium

Three pound of love about to burst
Inside my three pound Universe
Its raining in my ranium
My head feels like a stadium

Chorus:
F#                             E     G#m    F#
  These are the melancholy mechanics  of my mind
F#                             E     G#m    F#
  These are the melancholy mechanics  of my mind

Symbols I've been given to express my goal
Always come up short,
you know they just don't get that low
It's raining in my cranium
My head feels like a stadium

Chorus - x2

Quick release chemicals strike
with incomprehensible precision
Bio-organic electronics targeting
microscopic destinations of devastation
Cleaner than light, meaner than
a laser fight in the night 2000
Billions of micro maniacs unknown to most
As the uncontrollable soldiers
of suffering succotash
Instantaneous infiltration leaves me
with a case of bus station frustration
Alone in the constellation
of alienation detached from empty conversation
I wait
I wait
For the wave to break
