City on fire becoming me let's hurry lover and fly together

majestic high soaring now babylon bares her breast again
d-------------etc---------------------------------------|pickslide
time's like quick sand soon again standing naked in wonderland
chorus:revert to riff 1 but without playing the licks
second verse: play something like the first verse but with some variations
Tear the petals from this sweet narcissus
crumbles gently in the palm of my hand
what once was inviting is dull and blinding
once magnificent has slipped away
serpent in my belly stomach crawling now
wipe the sweat from my furrowed brow
g----7h9~~~---9p7~~----6~~---12p9~~---9-/-(14)~~---12-/-(11)~~---|

the sound of a mystifying beat combo
