D 
Stray cats with fish heads, feeding their litters 
  
G 
Feral kids fight over rats, tailed from gutters 

D 
Bookie mouth brokers, rotten fruit sellers 
  
G 
Pickpockets, ghost through the crowd 



D  
He climbs onto boxes by market stall traders 
  
G 
Toothless and gray haired, thousand yard stare 
  
D 
He had a vision which broke the receiver 
  
G 
Receiving transmission, surface to air 



       D           G 
Either way, I'm in awe of you 

       D             G 
Either way, we'll survive 

 Conjuring devils, angels and demons 
 Only the children see shape to his tone 
 Laughing and crying, his song fell upon us 
 We buried his treasure along with his bones 

 Arms held aloft, away to the sky 
 Innocent witness, he testified 
 Drained of his purpose, he falls off the quayside 
 Absorbed by the ocean, rolled by the tide 

 Either way, I'm in awe of you 
 Either way, we'll survive 
 Either way, I'm in awe of you 
 Either way, we'll survive, we'll survive

 Under the power lines which crackle and sparkle 
 Under the freeway, now, mostly rubble 
 The hungry still gather to fill up with stories 
 Of monsters and heroes and men 

 Under the stars, which prick us and call us 
 Connect us to hope that perfection's within 
 Is here on the ground, we're reckless and hopeless 
 Damned by the slip of a pen 

 Rambling poets, manic with vision 
 We are the drivers, yet we feel driven 
 Moths in the moonlight, fooled by a flashlight 
 Caught in a jam jar, gasping for air 

 Rambling poets, manic with vision 
 We are the drivers, yet we feel driven 
 Moths in the moonlight, fooled by a flashlight 
 Caught in a jam jar, gasping for air 

 Rambling poets, manic with vision 
 We are the drivers, yet we feel driven 
 Moths in the moonlight, fooled by a flashlight 
 Caught in a jam jar, gasping for air 

 Rambling poets, manic with vision 
 We are the drivers, yet we feel driven 
 Moths in the moonlight, fooled by a flashlight 
 Caught in a jam jar, gasping for air 

 Either way, I'm in awe of you 
 Either way, we'll survive, we'll survive
