Cubscouts are screaming needing icecreaming & all the pleasures of June

I'm in a parked car. Flowers seem friendly & people in hallways feel walls

Now it is night time, maybe we're cruising avoiding the anti-cruise

Oh, I don't really know where we are

Gmaj7+D       Am
If things get real
Am         C                 G5   D/F#
Promise to take me somewhere elll-se
D/F#   Am                 C                     G5   D
By the time fear takes me over will we still be roll-ing

...and feeling oblivion

Once in a while the lie in a laughter can burn through a hole in my ears
D/F#   G5
Like a man with glasses
C5+D                   Gmaj7+D               D/F#
Catching a sunbeam and burning the skin of a kid
G5                    C5+D                     Gmaj7+D  D/F#
Hypereal fragments disturbing the stagnants of almighty fear
D/F# G5                     C5+D Gmaj7+D
Well I'll just go under the waaa-ter

Gmaj7+D       Am
If things get real

Promise to take me somewhere elll-se
