Standard tuning (capo 2nd fret)
Intro: - - (x4)
Well, you know i don't like you but you wanna be my friend
(C)
There are bodies on the ceiling and they're fluttering their wings
(G)
It's ok, i'm angry but you'll never understand
(C)
When you dream of Michelangelo they hang above your hands
And i know that she is not my friend
And i know cause there she goes walking on my skin again
And i can't see why you wanna talk to me
(C)
When your vision of America is crystalline and clean
(G)
I want a white bread life, just something ignorant and plain
(C)
But from the walls of Michelangelo i'm dangling again
And i know that she is not my friend
And i know cause there she goes walking on my skin again and again
Saturn on a line...a sun afire strings and wires to
spin above my head and make it right
But any time you like you can catch a sight of angel eyes
all emptiness and infinite
And i dream of Michelangelo when i'm lying in my bed
(C)
I see God upon the ceiling, i see angels overhead
(G)
And it seems so close as he reaches out his hand
(C)
But we are never quite as close as we are led to understand
And i know that she is not my friend
And i know cause there she goes walking, walking, walking
And i know that she is not my friend
And i know cause there she goes walking on my skin again and again
On my mind...oh Lord no...
Yes she's walking on my skin again and again
