INTRO - LA RIFF
SIm LA MI LA SIm SOL LA
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning spinning free,Dizzy with eternity
MIm7 LA MIm7
Painted with a skin of sky brush in some clouds and sea
SIm LA
Call it home to you and me
SIm LA MI LA
A peaceful place or so it looks from space.
SIm SOL LA
A closer look reveals the human race
MIm7 LA MIm7
Full of hope full of grace is the human face
SIm LA
But afraid we may lay our home to waste
MI RE LA MI RE LA
There's a fear down hear we can't forget. Hasn't got a name just yet
MI RE LA MI RE LA
Always awake always around, singing' ashes ashes all fall down
SIm LA MI LA
Now watch the ball revolves as the nighttime falls
SIm SOL LA
And again the hunt begins, and again the blood wind calls
MIm7 LA MIm7
By and by again, the morning sun will rise.
SIm LA
But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes
SIm LA MI LA
It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
SIm SOL LA
Staking turf dividing up meat
MIm7 LA MIm7 SIm LA
Nightmare spook peace of heat, you and me, you and me
MI RE LA MI RE LA
Flash switch blade in the ghetto night. Rudies looking for a fight
MI RE LA MI RE LA
Ratcat alley roll them bones, need that cash to feed that jones
MI RE LA
And the politicians throwing stones
MI RE LA MI
Singing ashes ashes all fall down. Ashes ashes all fall down
DO#m LA MI
Commissars and pinstripe bosses roll the dice.
SIm LA MI MI LA MI
Anyway they fall guess who gets to pay the price?
MI LA MI SIm LA SOL LA
Money green or proletarian grey, selling guns instead of food today
MI RE LA
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
MI RE LA
And the politicians throwing stones
MI RE LA MI
Singing ashes ashes all fall down. Ashes Ashes all fall down.
SIm LA MI LA
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
SIm SOL LA
If the spirit's sleeping then the flesh is ink
MIm7 LA MIm7
History's page will be neatly carved in stone
SIm LA
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own. A D A JAM
DO#m LA MI
If the game is lost, then we're all the same.
SIm LA MI LA
No one left to place or take the blame
MI LA MI
We will leave this place an empty stone
FA#m SIm LA
Or a shining ball of blue we can call our home
MI RE LA
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
MI RE LA
And the politicians throwing stones.
MI RE LA MI
Singing ashes ashes all fall down. Ashes ashes all fall down
Shipping powders back and forth.
Singing black goes south and white comes north
And the whole world full of petty wars.
Singing I got mine and you got yours
While the latest fashions set the pace.
Lose your step fall out of grace
The radical he rant and rage.
Singing someone got to turn the page
And the rich man in his summer home.
Singing just leave well enough alone.
But his pants are down, his covers blown.
And the politicians throwing stones
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
Cause it's all too clear we're on our own
Singing ashes ashes all fall down, Ashes ashes all fall down
SIm LA MI LA
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning spinning free.
SIm SOL LA
It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes ashes all fall down ....
