Inaudible Melodies F# B7 F# B7 C7 B7 F# C7 Ch F# A# B G# :
Brushfire fairytalesItsy bitsy diamond wellsBig fat hurricanesYellow bellied given names
Well shortcuts can slow you downAnd in the end we're boundTo rebound off of we
Well dust off your thinking capsSolar powered plastic plantsPretty pictures of things we ate
We are only what we hateBut in the long run we have foundSilent films are full of soundInaudibly free
Slow down everyoneYou're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you whenYou're moving like that
Inaudible melodiesServe narrational strategies
Unobtrusive tonesHelp to notice nothing but the zoneOf visual relevancy
Frame-lines tell me what to seeChopping like an axe andMaybe Eisenstein should just relax
Slow down everyoneYou're moving too fastFrames can't catch you when
You're moving like thatWell Plato's cave is full of freaks
Demanding refunds for the things they've seen
I wish they could believeIn all the things that never made the screen
And just slow down everyoneYou're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you whenYou're moving like that
Slow down everyoneYou're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you whenYou're moving like thatMoving Too....
Times Like These A E : F# Bm:
In times like theseIn times like thoseWhat will be will be
And so it goesAnd it always goes on and on...On and on it goes
And there has always been laughing, crying, birth, and dying
Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
And heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture
But then hurt from time to time like theseAnd times like those
And what will be will beAnd so it goes
And there will always be stop and go and fast and slow
Action,Reaction, sticks and stones and broken bones
Those for peace and those for warAnd god bless these ones, not those ones
But these ones made times like theseAnd times like thoseWhat will be will be
And so it goesAnd it always goes on and on...On and on it goes
But somehow I know it won't be the sameSomehow I know it will never be the same.
