A G A G [Verse 1] A G It will shine and it will shudder as I guide it with my rudder on its metalled ways A G It will cut the night before it as it leaves the day that saw it on its metalled ways A G Nobody passes us in the deep quiet of the dark sky A G Nobody sees us alone out here among the stars [Chorus] A In these metal ways G In these metal days A In these metal ways G In these metal days A In these metal ways G In these metal days A In these metal ways G In these metal days [Instrumental] A G A G A G A G A G A G [Verse 2] A G Through a fault of our designing we are lost among the windings of these metal ways A G Back to silence, back to minus with the purple sky behind us in these metal ways A G Nobody hears us when we're alone in the blue future A G No one receiving the radio's splintered waves [Chorus] A In these metal ways G In these metal days A In these metal ways G In these metal days A In these metal ways G In these metal days A In these metal ways G In these metal days A In these metal ways G In these metal days
