Intro:

Riff I a few times.

Riff I
The beatiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to feel small
from high up above
and after a glimpse
Fill I
Over the top
Riff I
The rest of the world
Fill I
Becomes a gift shop.
Riff I x 2

Riff II
The pendulum swings
for the horse like a man
out over the rim
is ice cream to him

                    D5 D5 C5 A5
the beautiful lull  da da da duh
                   C5 C5 D5 G5
the dangerous tug  da da da duh
                      D5 D5 C5 A5
we get to fell small 
        G5
but not out of place at all

Some solo thing I can't get goes here.  Use this scale.

Additional lyrics:

We're forced to bed
but we're free to dream
all us human extras,
all us herded beings
and after a glimpse
over the top
the rest of the world
becomes a gift shop.

I don't know what to believe.
Sometimes I even forget
and if its a lie,
terrorists made me say it
the beautiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to fell small 
from high up above
from high up above
