consider green lakes and the idiocy of clocks
someone shot nostalgia in the back
someone shot our innocence
and all our colors have run
Abm B F#
a broken arrow in a bloody pool
Abm B F#
the wound in the face of midnight proposals
Abm B F#
someone shot nostalgia in the back
Abm B F#
someone shot out innocence
F#
in the shadow of his...
smile

(play riff accompanying the above lyrics)
in the shadow of his smile
in the shadow of his smile
in the shadow of his smile
Abm B F#
all our dreams have melted down, we're hiding in the bushes
Abm B F#
from dead men doing douglas fairbanks stunts
Abm B F#
all our stories burnt, our films lost in the rushes
Abm B F#
we can't paint any pictures as the moon had all our brushes
Abm B F#
extracting wasps from stings in flight
Abm B F#
who killed mr. moonlight
Abm B
extracting wasps from stings in flight
F#
who killed mr. moonlight?
Abm B
extracting wasps from stings in flight
F#
who killed mr.moonlight?
Abm B F#
in the shadow of his smile
Abm B F#
who killed mr. moonlight?
(repeat)
