Tom : F#
[Intro]
F#
Cut glass porcupine sailing on the Serpentine
Fingers on the skyline pulling down the black blinds
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
Rivulet of dark wine moving in a straight line
Smudging out the stop signs, running down the life lines
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
G#
Shadows on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing,
Tarot cards revealing, a solitary feeling
Terminal eyes, but I think it's alright
C#
Silver studded jet plane screaming through the migraine
Cutting through the cellophane, wrappers of your tired brain
[Refrão]
Terminal eyes - put out the light
Chorus
B D E B
Terminal Eyes, only the lonely Arabian skies
B D E B C#
Terminal Eyes, calling you home from your restless disguise.
[Próxima Parte]
F#
(guitar solo)
Verse 2
E|-----|--
F#
Hands of the windmill moving to a standstill
Rain on the windowsill, ashes on the phone bill
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
Rain drop fire-flies sparkle on the shop blinds
Echoes of the summertime flicker in the street-signs
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
G#
Shadows on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing
Eyes that look unseeing, hands that move unfeeling
Terminal eyes, I think it's alright
C#
Silver studded sea plane breaking through the migraine
Cutting throught the cellophane, enveloping your tired brain
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
repeat until fade
Guitar break between lines
