This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

LYRICS:

poetry,

grows off trees,

air is a soundless song,

the ground communicates,

with aching echoes,

of what we did wrong...

and theres a feeling,

that lies beneathe our skin,

and there are burning ceilings,

just don't let the ashes in,

and i couldn't ask for more,

heaven is located behing a locked door,

if only we could break it down,

together we can break it down...

centerfolds,

of waterfalls,

and kinky karma sex,

and kingdoms,

of gender and races,

each one a reject...

potraits of screaming whispers,

and broken records,

of our stability,

ocean tides,

and babies cries,

come reach out with me,

come stand around,

all of us human clowns,

today's a spectacle,

our arms are raised,

the lord is praised,

we'll make a spectacle...

reckless and relentless,

we are puppets,

make a home,

to make us whole,

with puppet poetry...
