Song Structure:

The Main Riff tabbed above is actually played by Jim, but it's the only real 
guitar part in the song so it's transcribed for guitar for your viewing 
"pleasure."  Larry's only contribution is merely chord playing (and 
mimicking the riff by using the old hammer-on/pull-off between D, Dsus4 and 
Dsus2 on the D chord), and Saul, as usual, is fiddling.

Lyrics/Chords:

           D               G           A
Since your mother cast her spell

      D               G                A
Every kiss has left a bruise

            D                G     A        D
You've been reading too much meaning from existence

         Bm               A
Now your head is used and sore

        Bm              G
And the forecast is for more

         D      A              Bm           A
Memories falling, like falling rain

        D
Falling rain



Every view they hold on you's

A piano, out of tune

You're an angel

You're a demon

You're just human

Now your world has turned to trash

Broken windows on the past

Take that child and teach him senseless

Damage the dream, damage the dream

I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all

I feel nothing at all



In this gloomy, haunted place

All the feelings are of shame

All the windows have been broken by the children

So the wind screams up the stairs

Slams doors and rattles chairs

I wish we weren't conceived in violence

Damage the dream, damage the dream

The magic is broken

The house is in ruins

Your memory's one-sided

The side that you're choosing feels nothing

Feels nothing at all

We feel nothing at all
