The music must change It gets higher and higher Smolderin' like leaves in the sun Then it bursts into fire Its rhythm grows strong It's so new and so strange Like bells in the clouds, then again the music must change |D | Change |D G/D A/D |D G/D A/D|D G/D A/D|D G/D A/D| |D G A A6/D| But is this song so different? |D G A A6/D| Am I doing it all again? |D G A A6/D| It may have been done A6/D |D G A | But then music's an open door ||:D G A A6/D:|| [repeat intro] Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found When I hear the cold lies of the pusher I know it exists It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids emphasized with their fists But the high has to rise from the low Like volcanoes explode through the snow The mosquito's sting brings a dream but the poisons derange The music must change For we're chewing a bone We soar like the sparrow hawk fly, then we dropped like a stone Like the tide and the waves growing slowly in range Crushing mountains as old as the earth, the music must change ============= litgo@aol.com
