[Intro]
Asus2 Fmaj7b5
[Verse 1]
Asus2 Fmaj7b5 Asus2 Fmaj7b5
My bouncing ball had started it all
Asus2 Fmaj7b5 Asus2 Fmaj7b5
A whirlpool of fun down the drain
Asus2 Fmaj7b5 Asus2 Fmaj7b5
Butterfingers slipped and fell
D E
Into tunnels of filth and black rain
D A D A
A big wet kiss from mother nature
F C G
Sent me on my merry way
Asus2 Fmaj7b5 Asus2 Fmaj7b5
But tidal waves of fear disappeared
Asus2 E A E A
When I thought that I heard someone say
[Chorus 1]
Bm D E F#m E
So welcome to the land of pure imagination
Bm D E F#m E
Welcome to the land of tomorrow and today
Bm D E F#m E
Here inside the land of true infatuation
Bm D E Asus2 Fmaj7b5
Come on take my hand we’ll show you how to play
[Verse 2]
Asus2 Fmaj7b5 Asus2 Fmaj7b5
A thousand children laughed insanely
Asus2 Fmaj7b5 Asus2 Fmaj7b5
Kissing me from head to toe
Asus2 Fmaj7b5 Asus2 Fmaj7b5
"Don’t look down," they warned as we marched
D E
Through a towering forest that glowed
D A D A
Tattooed upon my face a reflection
F C G
Traveling from ear to ear
Asus2 Fmaj7b5 Asus2 Fmaj7b5
And through my veins this creature of comfort
Asus2 E A E A
Bubbled away all my fears
[Chorus 2]
Bm D E F#m E
Said welcome to the land of pure imagination
Bm D E F#m E
Welcome to the land where we only live to play
Bm D E F#m E
Here inside the land of true infatuation
Bm D E F#m E
You’ll come to understand for it's here that you will stay
Bm D E F#m E
Yeah, in the land of dream disintegration
Bm D E F#m E
You’ll follow my command - so down on your knees and pray
Bm D E F#m E
You’ll love what we have planned: A sideshow freak attraction
Bm D E D
Now sink into the sand from which there is no escape
[Outro]
A Gmaj7
Drowning into the sand, waving goodbye with my hand
A Gmaj7
I’m dying to be the buried treasure
A Gmaj7
Digging to quench my thirst, counting on finding it first
A Gmaj7
I’m dying to be the buried treasure
