The Lap of the Gods Lyrics

The Lap Of The Gods - Dave Dobbyn
NB. Some of the more complex chords have had their names abbreviated.
Fingerings shown in brackets.
INTRO:
VERSE 1: (chords as for intro)
Clamour drowning, skin flinching, language is a curse to be nameless
Rest in a dance for millions, primal now - more adventure
Go conjure up behind a shade, you got a while for adventure
CHORUS:
In the lap of the Gods, in the twists of fate
There's a map of the world in the turning of the cloudlight
In the map of the world go the twists of fate
In the lap of the Gods, in the turning of the cloudlight here
VERSE 2:
Go curl up inside a shadow, go dumb now - eat the light
And soak it up - gorgeous vista, ground vertigo - to be nameless
CHORUS (as before, without final G chord)
BRIDGE:
Go rest in a dance for millions
You got a while for adventures in real time
CHORUS (as before)
OUTRO:
In the map of the world there's a twisted face
In the lap of the Gods, in the turning of the cloudlight here
There's a desert behind and the speeding shadows push me further
In the cushion of the grass, in the soup of the harbour
In the glisten of the tar seal draped in the saddle of the hill
Shine, shine, in the lap of the Gods
G/F G G/F G (to fade)
Shine up, shine up, shine
