[VERSE 2]
When I missed you you were my life
When I missed you you were my life
So at ease in the midnight sky
So at ease in the midnight sky
My insides will look like wire
My insides will look like wire
Paralysed as if to prove my thoughts

REPEAT CHORUS

[VERSE 3]
My smile as real as a hyena's
My smile as real as a hyena's
Burns an express-way to my skull
Burns an express-way to my skull
Well I will stick myself together again
My spirit, soul and body know I can't pretend

Instrumental arranged for guitar 
(use distortion, neck pickup of a les paul and let all the notes ring out)

So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
You've given all the love
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad
