VERSE 2: (the same)
D7/4.....
I was set in motion by a half tone shift
And in its wake I was cast adrift
With my magic potion and my glittering gift
I had lift off
I swallowed hard and feeling warm
I swear I saw the world transform
Into a realm of hawks and snakes and doves
Beautiful blue jaguar
Tethered to a shooting star
Before I knew I flew too far
In time I heard the deafening roar
As the lines blurred and I slipped on through the door---> (GO TO INTRO)
