alot like his sound)

Verse 1:
                      
It's a beautiful world but everyone's insane
               
Either you swim or either you fade
                     
It's a revolution time we're sleeping at the wheel
               
Apocalypse child in a nuclear field
                       
We want to change the world but not what holds us back
                  
I want to be for you what I've never had
                                                
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
                  
Through the rain traffic
                  
As you float into space
                          
Your white eyes hide your face
                              
As you float in between - I am with you
               
If you leave
               
Fragile to the waves - vicissitude of days
               
When I am with you I feel a little brave
                    
The madness and the wars the circle that we run
               
Confusion we import look what we have become
                                             
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
                
Through the rain traffic
                  
As you float into space
              
You white eyes hide you face
                              
As you float in between - I die with you
                     
If you leave - as you float

(sorry, don't know the solo, but I think what he's doing is play either the
  6th or 5th or both strings open and moving up and down the 4th one, or
  something like that)


                  
As you float into space
              
You white eyes hide you face
                              
As you float in between - I die with you
                                 
If you leave - as you flooooooooooat
                                             ~
I die with you I die with you I die with you


*As with just about all Bush songs, Nigel's "texture" he adds to song
is all over the place...  let me put it this way:
          crapload of work  +  me  =  ain't gonna happen

...anyway, have fun
