Outside the world is changing, though you never see the wheel in spin

VERSE 3
Comment: When playing verse 3, Patrick Park just strums the large E string
along with the timing of the song. You can do the same or continue to
play the chords
Before the void it takes us, and the conversations run
We tie up this string that binds us, and makes many rivers one
On and on we'll go sleepwalking through all the damage done
CHORUS (sing it twice)
And just 'cause, here is the lyrics by themselves:
Down the street the dogs are barking
They're calling home the night
Where some hearts will get broken
and some will come to life
On and on and on we ride this wave
til it all gets set alive
Outside the world is changing
though you never see the wheel in spin
All the things you come to know and like
will pass into the wind
On and on and on we turn like tops
til it all gets set alive
I know the house is burning down
but I still can't seem to leave it
Before the void it takes us
and the conversations run
We tie up this string that binds us
and makes many rivers one
on and on we'll go sleepwalking
through all the damage done
I know the house is burning down
But I still can't seem to leave
I know the house is burning down
But I still can't seem to leave
