Verse 1:
A              G
 Electric waves a rush of energy
                 A
Silent river pouring backward eternally
                G
Through the phase and touch of entropy

Old age in the beginner
A                  G
 To hit the stage and blush wild, laughingly
               A
Crush the rage and rush time tappingly
G

Call the name so much so vapidly
           A
Dissolving into thin air
                G
Turning the two-fork taped up television

Into tunnel vision
A               G
 Taking the new fork tactile as revision

Working the revision

Chorus:
 D   A
Time escaping
 G   A
Time escaping

Verse 2:
A              G
 There is no reason to go down alone
               A
Through distortion’s secret telephone
           G
Separate contact separate

Poison in the ether
A              G
 Swinging still incessant pendulum
A
Lavender, nettle, calendula
              G
Separate, contact, concentrate

Drawing out the fever

Chorus:
 D   A
Time escaping
 G   A
Time escaping

Post-Chorus:
A  G

A    G
 Ether
   A
Time
    G
It's music
      A  G
It's music

Verse 3:
A              G
 Only the winter wind survives
                 A
After the heat rush feeds and thrives
               G
After the bushfire burns and dies

Frozen and bitter
A               G
 Desert ground so cold and clean
             A
Spreading out like a magazine
             G
Reading the dirt like gossip

What do the weeds say? They say
 A                      G
“Everything, everything, everything falls through
             A
Each dimension breaks in two
            G
Like the two hands clapping

Like the two wings flapping
A                    G
Everything, everything, everything for free
         A
As it all eventually
           G
Turns to dust and petal

Molten rock and meadow”

Chorus:
 D   A
Time escaping
 G   A   A
Time escaping
