[Verse]
CUpside down and Ginside Fout
AmYou're like a funnel-web, like a black fly on the
CCeiling. Skinny, white Ghaunches Fhigh in the
AmSky and a black oily gash crawling backwards
CAcross the carpet to Gsmash all over Feverything
AmWet, black fur against the sun going down
GOver the shops and the cars and the crowds in the town
[Chorus]
CAnd this is the Gmoment, Fthis is exactly where she is
AmBorn to be
CNow this is what she doesG and this is Fwhat she isAm
CAnd this is the moment, this is Gexactly where she is Fborn to
AmBe. This is what she does
GAnd this is what she is G F Am

[Verse]
CHer eyes that look atG me through aF rainy hair
AmTwo round holes where the air buckles and rushes
CIn her body,G moon blue, was aF jellyfish
AmAnd I'm breathing deep and I'm there and I'm also
CNot there. And spurting Gink over the Fsheets but
AmShe remains, completely unexplained
COr maybe I'm just too tongue-tied to drink it up and
GSwallow back the pain. I thoughtF slavery had
Ambeen abolished. How come it's gone and reared its ugly head again?
[Chorus]
CAnd Gthis is the moment,F this is
AmExactly what she is born to be
CAnd this is what she dGoes and thisF is what she
AmIs.
CAnd this is the moment,G this is eFxactly what she is
AmBorn to be. This is what she
CIs and this is what sheG does F Am

[Bridge]
CAnd this is the moment, this is exactly whatG she is born to be
FAnd this is what she does and this is what she isAm
CAnd this is the moment, this is exactly whatG she is born to be
FAnd this is what she does and this is what she isAm
[Verse]
CAnd now she's jumping up with her Gleaping Fbrain
AmStepping over heaps of sleeping children
DisapCpearing and further up and Gspinning out Fagain
AmUp and further up she goes, up and out of the bed
CUp and out of the bed and Gdown the hallF where she
AmStops for moment and turns and says "Are you still here?"
CAnd then reaches highG and dFangles
HersAmelf like a child's dream from the rings of
CSaturn G F Am
