VERSE 1
Come to my house tonight,
We can be together in the nuclear sky. We will...
Dance in the poison rain,
We can stay a while in heaven today.
CHORUS
Stay Togeth- er
And Stay, These days ?????
Stay Togeth- er
Two hearts under the skies remain.

[Fill [Bb-]-2-3-5-3-0-2--]
There's a time bomb in the high ?life?
()
There's a blue suburban dream.
Will I see you up in paradise?
Or have you come to touch me?
VERSE 2
Come to my arms tonight,
You and me together on electric light.
She will dance in the poisoned air,
Just you and me forever by the motorway ????
CHORUS

VERSE 3
Come to my arms or not,
Just you and me together in the year of the hawk.
Single file in the nuclear night,
And we can feel a little closer as we tumble through the sky.

EFFECTS
This is tricky because of all the guitar tracks on the record,
so here a rough expression of how the combinations come across.
Intro - Chorus & mild compression
Verse1- Mild distortion
Chorus- Fuzz w/the tone turned down
Outro - Bluesy at the start, getting fuzzier all the time.

I hope I have done this song justice in this transcription. The number of
tracks makes transcribing it a nightmare, but I think I got all the
important bits.
