LYRICS:
INTRO
D Dmaj7 D
E
by the time the luminous descent of the bright star unfolds
E D Dmaj7 D
and tablets of strangelove are shattered and bruised
E
by the time the oleander is falling from bloom
E D Dmaj7 D
and tears of the crocodile water the sun
C#m B
by the time you make up your mind
C#m A
if ever you do
C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
C#m B
by the time you make up your mind
E F#
if ever you do
A B C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
E B G D A E G
INTRO
E
by the time paradise alley is littered with rust
E D Dmaj7 D
and the arc of dayglo is curtained in gloom
E
by the time kidney bone cities are crumbling to dust
E D Dmaj7 D
and the empires and all of the emirated burn
C#m B
by the time you make up your mind
C#m A
if ever you do
C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
C#m B
by the time you make up your mind
E F#
remember this too
A B C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
A B C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
E B
ice on the mountain
G D
wind and the dust storm
A E
sails in the desert
G D
it's old and exploding
E B
seers and the prophets
G D
dramas of heaven
A E
attention groud control,
G D
there's someone coming down, I don't know who
etc...
INTRO
