As usual, listen to the song for the timing. On this song
I like just a little bit of distortion. Not lots, but enough
to fuzz it a bit. This is it, should be at least close to
the song. Have fun.

Lyrics
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Words and music by Sting
Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in [life is death] [
