SOLO - *Distortion and Whammy!* % Set pedal to rise 2 octaves to
desired note (the actual effect would be created by studio editing,
but I found its possible to simulate with Whammy. In fact, I know its
studio effects, as Dave does not use a Whammy pedal)

LYRICS
Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
Thats where our heads are
My head and your heart
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate
When you are so far
I'm falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar
CHORUS
Sometimes I feel
I'm getting stuck
Between the handshake
And the fuck
You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars
CHORUS
Sometimes I wish
That I could change
I can't save you from
My poor brain
Headache!, o.k
