  • C G
    Is it the painter or the picture
    C G
  • Hanging in the gallery?
    C G
    Admired by countless thousands
  • C G
    Who attempt to read the secrets
    C D
  • Of his vision of his very soul
    C G
    Is it the painter or the picture
  • C G
    Hanging in the gallery?
    C G
  • Or is it but a still life
    C G
    Of his own interpretation
  • C G
    Of the way that God has made us
    C D G
  • In the image of his eye?
     
     
  • Is it the sculptor or the sculpture
    Standing in the gallery?
    Touched by fleeting strangers
  • Who desire to feel the strength of hands
    That realized a form of life
    Is the the sculptor or the sculpture
  • Standing in the gallery?
    Or is it but the tenderness
    With which his hands were guided
  • To discard the unessentials
    And reveal the perfect truth
     
  • Is it the actor or the drama
    Playing to the gallery?
    Heard in every corner
  • Of the theatre of cruelty
    That masks the humor in his speech
    Is the the actor or the drama
  • Playing to the gallery?
    Or is it but the character
    Of any single member of the audience
  • That forms the plot
    Of each and every play
     
  • Is it the singer or his likeness
    Hanging in the gallery?
    Tongue black, still and swollen
  • His eyes staring from their sockets
    He is silent now, will sing no more
    Is it the singer or his likeness
  • Hanging in the gallery
    Or is it but his conscience,
    Insecurity, and loneliness
  • When destiny becomes at last
    The cause of his demise

    Dm DmSus2
    Hero's face was gaunt and tanned
  • AmSus4 Am
    His sail was set in search of land
    Csus2 C
  • His life-raft, solely by him manned
    Dm
    Was guided by the tide
  • Dm DmSus2
    Heroine wore fleecy white
    AmSus4 Am
  • She beckoned like some savior bright
    Csus2 C
    Shipwrecked sailors in the night
  • Dm
    Were bid welcome to her side
     
  • Where one man's search must surely cease
    The irresistible white fleece
    Led Hero in search of the peace
  • Which she alone could offer
    Thus he knelt before her feet
    Wary lest their eyes should meet
  • He knew his life was incomplete
    For he had yet to suffer
     
  • Enticing Heroine, so calm
    Took Hero firmly by the arm
    Told him that she meant no harm,
  • That she alone could save him
    Hero could no longer speak
    While realizing he was weak
  • His life increasingly grew bleak
    For all the love she gave to him
     
  • While storm clouds gathered high above
    The Heroine he grew to love
    Turned slowly to a snow white dove
  • And spread her wings to fly
    Crushed and broken in the end
    Hero watched his sould ascend
  • Knowing that he was condemned
    To sail all alone to die

  • A E D A
    I drew the blade across my wrist
    E D
  • To see how it would feel
    A E D
    Looked into the future
  • A E D
    There was nothing to reveal
    D E
  • For we were just the product
    D E
    Of the ever spinning wheel...
  • D E A
    Round and round we go...
     
  • Come and see me
    When the screw has turned another turn
    It's not that I'm confused
  • I have an awful lot to learn
    But I will be the one
    To make you work for what you earn
  • Round and round we go...
     
    After all
  • It's just the revolution I despise
    The dawn of revelations
    And the flower power prize
  • I pity those poor children
    With no sunshine in their eyes
    Round and round we go...
  •  
    A E D E
    When you were young you were protected
  • A E D E
    When you were growing you were sheltered
    A E D E
  • But when you reached your adult years
    NC A
    You were left alone
  • D E A
    And you had no-one to rely on
    D E A
  • No one to care for you
    D E E7
    A lost soul in search of some kind of shelter and protection
  •  
    CHORUS:
    D E A
  • Now where do you run
    D E A
    Where do you hide
  • D E
    When you need a hole to crawl in
    D E A
  • Where do you go?
     
    I found that in our darkest hour
  • The young ones that I knew and loved well
    Beckoned with the memory
    Of their alluring spell
  • And so I gathered up my senses
    Bade one and all godspeed
    If my ways were what you desired then love is what you must need
  •  
    (Chorus)
    I tried to find a consolation
  • But realized that deep down inside
    Consolation is but yet
    My all despairing pride
  • And now I'm dark eyed and bewildered
    My guts can feel the strain
    My mouth is dry, my chest is tight, and my forehead's lined with the pain
  •  
    (Chorus)
