CHRONOLOGY:
INTRO:
I:
Who knows, maybe there isn't, a vein of stars calling
out my name. No glow from above our heads, nothing there
to send you down on your knees.
Mmmmmmmmmm...
VERSE II:
Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, off in the future
maybe there ain't no heaven. It's just you and me and maybe
it's just as well. And if there ain't no heaven, maybe
there ain't no hell.
INTERLUDE:
SOLO:
VERSE III:
Who knows, maybe there isn't, a vein of stars calling
out my name. Who knows, maybe there isn't a vein of stars
calling out my name
UTERO:
Who knows? Who knows? Who knows? Who knows?
Calling out my name, who knows? Who knows? Calling out my name
