           E                 B                          E 
When the photographs you're taking now are taken down again 
         G#m               B                 D# 
When the heavy clouds that hide the sun have gone 
     E             B                                  E 
The millions of us on the hill from the star to lands end 
      G#m               B 
When photographs you're taking now are taken now press send 


Interlude 
This is a precious opportunity beware of the photographs you are taking now 

verse 1 
       G#m         C# 
We are flying over black sands 
G#m             C# 
In a glass aeroplane 
G#m      E       C# 
Crashing in slow motion  
    G#m    D#m        E 
In another cityscape game 

           G#m             C# 
Where the feeling is supernatural 
      G#m                C# 
Like passing into other worlds 
      G#m          E    C#              G#m     D#m       E 
We're ending this dissolution when the mother-ship it explodes 

Chorus 

verse 2 
We were walking as zombies on over 
To the church of John Coltrane 
Eight hours on the bus from sunset with freedom taking cocaine 
In the ? and chords of nature 
All is but a vanity 
And the metronome knows that defeats you is the monochrome that you seek 

Chorus 

Interlude 

Photographs you are taking now 
Photographs you are taking now
