Zen chords and lyrics - JOHN CALE

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
It's [Am]midnight
And our silver tongued obsessions come at
Us out of the dark
Scrambling to be recog
[C]nised [Am]before
Tearing themselves apart
It's zen [G]and [Am]the art of Bollywood
Heroes turning on a spit
The lovers unable to resolve
A pre-historic bitch
[Bb]bitch[Am]
We don't know the half [G]of [Am]it
Clever is as clever does
His drawn lights sparkling
On a merry-go-round
Hyp[C]notising Hypnot[Am]ising
Hypnotising everyone on it
In zen and [G]the art [Am]of forg[C]ery[Am]
We're losing control of
light
DeLorean, Picasso
[C]Mondriaan and El [G]Greco [Am]some one's
Gonna pay the price
[C]If [Am]I did[Bb]n't[C][Am][Em][Am][Bb]
know you better than that
I'd never [Am]let you[C][Am]
outta my [G]sight

[Verse 2]
Where is the [G]art of [C]sorcery[Am]
We wanna be fooled again
Staggered by [C]deception charmed
In[G]to submission [Am]helpless
as a deck of cards
It's [G]now the art of real[C]ity[G]
[Am]Calling a spade a spade
[G]facing the [Am]obvious
[C]A monkey [G]and his grinder
[Am]But on a different plain
[G]I see you clearly

[Verse 3]
from day to day
As clearly as I see tonite
Keep talking said the slow-eyed
Mandarin
[Am]Mandarin
"I've got nothing to say"
Meet me [C]on [Am]the stair[C]case on
your [G]way down
[Am]We'll see if there's been a mistake
In zen and [G]the art of algebra
There [Am]is no value for time
[C]Whatever thrives [G]inside the dark
De[Am]cays on the outside

[Outro 1]
[Am][G][Am][C][G][C][G][Am]
[G][Am]
[C][G][C][G][Am][G]
[Am][C][G][C][G][Am][G]
[Am][C]
