listen to this song

 

/ AmG Am / / AmG FG / FG Am hAm / AmG CG / AmG Am /

 

A Snow, a Snow, a Snow Crash

Please, good mistress, a Snow Crash

Unravel my brain and leave me ecstatic

Enough to believe that there's meaning in static

One for madness, two for rot

Three for Her who gave us thought

 

/ AmG Am -G Am / / / /

 

Our Da5id's seen a priestess with pixels on a scroll

He's read her random data, and lost his mortal soul

She's filled him full of symbols, so full he's fit to burst

The people drank his spirit, it could not quench their thirst

 

A Snow, a Snow, a Snow Crash...

 

I have to go to Long Beach, the Sacrificial Zone

I need to snare a sample, I dare not go alone

My uncle knows a driver who likes to keep his chill

A reckless bit of planning to buy a bitter pill

 

A Snow, a Snow, a Snow Crash...

 

The mastermind is hacking the code of human life

His plan is set it motion, his rede is running rife

His fortress is of flotsam, his eyes watch from afar

Who can refute his reason, except an avatar?

 

A Snow, a Snow, a Snow Crash...

 

The street's virtually empty, my bike is very fast

A raven flew before me, and dared me to get past

Ah, but the raven wasn't careful; he flew into a wall

I had no time to tarry; I had no time at all

 

A Snow, a Snow, a Snow Crash...
