John Cale "Zen" From HoboSapiens, 2003 [Verse 1]
It’s Gmidnight, and our silver-tongued obsessions Come Amat us out of the dark CScrambling to be recognised Before Amtearing themselves apart
[Chorus 1]
It’s Gzen and the art of Bollywood AmHeroes turning on a spit CLovers unable to resolve AmA prehistoric bitch
[Bridge 1] Bb Am e|-1-----------1-3-|-0---| B|-3-------3-5-----|-1---| G|-3---3-5---------|-2---| D|-3---------------|-2---| A|-1---------------|-0---| E|-----------------|-----| [Verse 2]
GWe don't know the half of it AmClever is as clever does His Cdrawn lights sparking on a merry-go-round AmHypnotizing everyone on it
[Chorus 2]
In Gzen and the art of forgery AmWe're losing control of light DeCLorean, Picasso, Mondrian, El Greco AmSomeone's gonna pay the price
[Bridge 2]
BbIf I didn't know you better than that I'd Amnever let you out of my sight
[Verse 3]
GWhere is the art of sorcery? We Amwanna be fooled again CStaggered by deception, charmed into submission AmHelpless as a deck of cards
[Chorus 3]
It's nGow the art of reality AmCalling a spade a spade CFacing the obvious, a monkey and his grinder AmBut on a different plain
[Bridge 3]
BbI see you clearly from day to day AmAs clearly as I see tonight
[Verse 4]
"Keep Gtalking," said the slow-eyed Mandarin Am“I’ve got nothing to say CMeet me on the staircase on your way down AmWe'll see if there's been a mistake"
[Chorus 4]
In Gzen and the art of algebra There Amis no value for time WhatCever thrives inside the dark AmDecays on the outside
