           [Verse]
                                   
late new years eve paper hat on your head

                                    
its hard to believe that you'd ever be dead

                                                                               
and that dream where you fall that youve had sense ya five

                                     
is a bird on your shoulder that wispers goodbye.

        [Chorus]
                     
what is moving will be still

                      
what is gathered will disperse

                          
what has been built up will collapse

                         
all of your deams will be fulfilled

[Repeat the chords for the verse and chorus]


evil kenevil shot up from dead grass
and i loved him more each time that he crashed
liza minellee spent a month in a bed
she was sure that the sky lamp would fall on her head

what is moving will be still
what is gathered will disperse
what has been built up will collapse
all of your deams will be fulfilled

[whistle verse}

last night i dreamed that i dug my own grave
and i crawl down and patiently wait
and down in the ground while i breathe the cold air
black birds come down and set a nest in my hair

what is moving will be still
what is gathered will disperse
what has been built up will collapse
all of your deams will be fulfilled
