Time is just slipping by
One dies another cries
My feet not on the ground
Tightrope out of bounds
I'm bandaged and disguised
In a hut I may hide
At one time I could fly
Could not drown so died
Kiss kiss me quick
Upon my lips
I kiss you quick
I bite your lip
Feelings that isolate
Feelings that frighten me
I can see through your smiles
You see through me too
Palette of beetle blood
Runs dark to pale
Beetle blood running
Staining my skin
(play with slight variations and augmented versions of these basic chords, this chord
sequence is very jazzy and hard to be exact with)
Play Bridge/Riff IV more rapidly, but with same basic outline.
Follow up with Riff V x 4 with minor variations
Play Bridge/Riff IV rapidly again and end.
There's a longer, alternate version of this song on The Seduction which continues from
this point, where the single version ends, with a break-beat/drum passage and a jazzy,
double-tracked, improvised guitar solo, and then ends with a jazzy descending chord
sequence
