with their red velvet smiles,

For our time was taken with treasure.

As the crooked smoke

How long will it take, how can we escape

Someone

And the quivering floor

E#
In a shake no longer

sur pris ing.

As closer and closer comes

the ringing of re volution.

and try not to hear

em bra cing.

is laugh ing out loud,
A#

Peeking in at the tar get

reached their to morrow
