Dm7 
Just got back today and 

I'm searching round the place 
            E 
Looking for you-know-who 

But there's no sign yet 
          Dm7 
Singing, auto-pilot days 

Shining, ultra-violet rays 
         E 
On this dusty skeleton 

I feel akin on a cosmic level 
 

 
Dm7 
I can see right through ya 

Yeah I can read your bones 
            E 
Just like a telephone book 

Maybe I should, give it up, begin again 
Dm7 
I am exercising how good it feels to be alive 
E 
No surprises up my sleeve 

Everything is temporary 
 

 
Dm7                       E 
Ooh, praying mantis on my door 

Looking for meaning or just any sign at all 
Dm7                E 
Ooh, organising my thoughts, making them rhyme 
                                      Dm7  E 
Choosing wisely where I spend my time 
 

 
      Dm7 
Gimme mignight love again 

Feeling somewhat alien 
             E 
I'm floating aimless 

But got my feet concreted 
             Dm7 
Beneath this creature of habit 
                         E 
Teach me the magic of an extra-ordinary day 

Anodyne the time away 
Dm7 
And there's no such thing as a 
                          E 
Perfect melody but I keep searching every 

Morning in the trees 
 

 
Dm7                       E 
Ooh, praying mantis on my door 

Looking for meaning or just any sign at all 
Dm7                    E 
Ooh, organising all my thoughts, 

Making them rhyme, choosing wisely where I spend my time 
 

 
Dm7                           E 
I got my head sorted sort of, I keep going, 

Just because, yeah, just because 
Dm7                           E 
I got my head sorted sort of, I keep going 

Just because, yeah, just because
