Dm
Past the gates
Bbm
Quite stark
Am                       Asus2
The roses trimmed and the windows dark
Dm                       Bbm
I see the walls through a limestone crack

Verso:
When I was stuck he'd make me memorize elaborate curses
Tinctures and formulas
To ditch the choir and flip the verses
My whole foundation came unglued
When I tried to humanize by ambient light

Refrão:
Dipping swords in metaphors yeah
But what does he know?
He's go the whole world behind him
He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)
