John Cale
"Zen"
From HoboSapiens, 2003

[Verse 1]
     G
It’s midnight, and our silver-tongued obsessions
     Am
Come at us out of the dark
C
Scrambling to be recognised
       Am
Before tearing themselves apart

[Chorus 1]
     G
It’s zen and the art of Bollywood
Am
Heroes turning on a spit
C
Lovers unable to resolve
Am
A prehistoric bitch

[Bridge 1]
   Bb                Am
e|-1-----------1-3-|-0---|
B|-3-------3-5-----|-1---|
G|-3---3-5---------|-2---|
D|-3---------------|-2---|
A|-1---------------|-0---|
E|-----------------|-----|

[Verse 2]
G
We don't know the half of it
Am
Clever is as clever does
    C
His drawn lights sparking on a merry-go-round
Am
Hypnotizing everyone on it

[Chorus 2]
   G
In zen and the art of forgery
Am
We're losing control of light
  C
DeLorean, Picasso, Mondrian, El Greco
Am
Someone's gonna pay the price

[Bridge 2]
Bb
If I didn't know you better than that
    Am
I'd never let you out of my sight

[Verse 3]
G
Where is the art of sorcery?
   Am
We wanna be fooled again
C
Staggered by deception, charmed into submission
Am
Helpless as a deck of cards

[Chorus 3]
      G
It's now the art of reality
Am
Calling a spade a spade
C
Facing the obvious, a monkey and his grinder
Am
But on a different plain

[Bridge 3]
Bb
I see you clearly from day to day
Am
As clearly as I see tonight

[Verse 4]
      G
"Keep talking," said the slow-eyed Mandarin
Am
“I’ve got nothing to say
C
Meet me on the staircase on your way down
Am
We'll see if there's been a mistake"

[Chorus 4]
   G
In zen and the art of algebra
      Am
There is no value for time
    C
Whatever thrives inside the dark
Am
Decays on the outside
