There's a science fiction in the space between

You and me

A fabrication of a grand scheme

Where I am the scary monster
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
In my spaceship I am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
There's no one but you standing
Solo
D
Leave the pity and the blame
C
G
For the ones who do not speak
D
You write the words to get respect and compassion
C
Em
And for posterity
C
Em
You write the words and make believe
G
D/F#
Em
There is truth in the space between

Give us one more sad sordid story
But in the fiction of the space between

Sometimes a lie is the best thing
