{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
[Cm] [Gm] Religious iconography
[Cm] [Gm] Giving [D5]you the [Cm]creeps?
I feel rougher than a[Gm] disco lizard tongue along your cheek,
[Cm] [Gm] The rise of [D5]the ma[Cm]chines.
I must admit you[Gm] gave me something momentarily
[Cm] [Gm] In which I [D5]could be[Cm]lieve.
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
But the [Cm]hand of harsh reality's ungloved,
And it's [Cm]on its way back in to scoop you up.
But [Cm]not on my watch, I want to stay with you my love,
The way some [D]science fiction does.
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
[Cm] [Gm] Reflections in the silver screen
[Cm] [Gm] Of strange so[D5]cieties.[Cm]
Swamp monster with a[Gm] hard-on for connectivity,
[Cm] [Gm] The ascension [D5]of the [Cm]C.R.E.A.M.
Mass panic on a[Gm] not too distant future colony.
[Cm] [Gm] Quanti[D5]tative [Cm]easing.
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 2}
I want to [Cm]make a simple point about peace and love,
But in a [Cm]sexy way where it's not obvious.
[Cm]Highlight dangers and send out hidden messages,
The way some [D]science fiction does.
[Cm] [Gm]
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_bridge: Bridge}
I've got the [Cm]world on a [D]wire in my little[Cm] mirror mirror[D] on the wall
[Cm]In the pocket [D]of my raincoat. [Cm] [Gm]
{end_of_bridge}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 3}
So I [Cm]tried to write a song to make you blush,
But I've a [Cm]feeling that the whole thing may well just
End [Cm]up too clever for its own [D]good,
[Cm] [Gm] The way some science fiction does.
