E          D                   E  D
Cars rust, stars grow cold and die
  E                D               E  E7
Machines break and humans cease to try
A
Mountains erode and buildings collapse
    A7                                 E
And I fall prey to the many traps all around me
D       E       E7
They confound me

[Chorus]
G        D
Cerebral world
A              E
Triumph of the will
G                D
I must fight for plus signs
A            E
Overcome the kill
G        D
Cerebral world
A              E
Village of the mind
G                 D
I must search for new clues
A               E
For my space in time

[Instrumental]
E D x2

[Verse 2]
E            D           E    D
No grasp, no symetry, no rhyme
E       D              E   E7
Prison, point in human time
A
Order rides the rumour down
A7                                E
Entropy will chase the crowd all around me
D      E       E7
It can hound me

[Chorus]
G        D
Cerebral world
A              E
Triumph of the will
G                 D
I must search for new clues
A            E
Overcome the kill
G        D
Cerebral world
A              E
Village of the mind
G              D
I must cross a new path
A               E
For my space in time

[Instrumental]
E D x2

[Verse 3]
E         D               E D
Wonder is what I best can do
E        D                 E  E7
Knowing eludes both me and you
A
If it’s like a watch wound tight
A7                                E
I must set my records right as to how it got wound
D           E   E7
Just to run down

[Chorus Fade]
G        D
Cerebral world
A              E
Triumph of the will
G                D
I must fight for plus signs
A            E
Overcome the kill
G        D
Cerebral world
A              E
Village of the mind
G              D
I must pay the piper
A               E
For my space in time
