*************************************************************************
there is an outro solo at the end of the song somewhere around
4 minutes into the song (give or take 20 seconds), i don't have
time to figure it out, however, if you would like to write you own
little solo for it (like i have) the below notes will work just really
good for a solo. If you do it right, it could sound really great.
The notes are in no particular order, just from high to low, work with
it see what happens.
E |---------------------------------------------------------|
B |---------------------------------------------------------|

p.s. the notes in the parenthesis, i don't use 'em, it sounds
better if you don't but if you want to go ahead

lyrics:
-------
well the satelite comes and goes
we give each other all we know
in silence we still walk
and will you rain down
in your cinematic love truck
i want to hold you like nothing's going stop us
she come to take me away
it's all that i needed
i don't breathe another lover
flicker on the t.v. screen
everything's more than it seems
the mighty backward fall
stare at the lights on the wall
i swear to this
she felt like velvet
second blonde child she meant it
she come to take me away
it's all that i needed
i don't breathe another lover
i'm an alien
you're and alien
it's a beautiful rain
beautiful rain
beautiful rain
