[Verso 1]

D7                                                D7 
There's a little town by the river bed and with a book that's writ about it 
       D7                                  D7 
It has every word they've ever said that's listed so you can count them 
    D7                                              D7 
And every little thought that was in their head the people by the mountain 
  D7                         D7                    D7 
Divided by each syllable and tossed into a fountain 
D7          D7 
   And they wished for this, they wished for that 
    D7 
And so the stars were in their hand

She'd rather soak up invisible things and pour them from her eyes 
      D7                                       D7 
And I know what comes from the amplifiers, the pedals and the horns 
         D7                                     D7 
It's the closest thing to the holy noise that I met the minute I was born
