SOLO - *Distortion and Whammy!* % Set pedal to rise 2 octaves to
desired note (the actual effect would be created by studio editing,
but I found its possible to simulate with Whammy. In fact, I know its
studio effects, as Dave does not use a Whammy pedal)

LYRICS
Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
Thats where our heads are
My head and your heart
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate
When you are so far
I'm falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar
CHORUS
Sometimes I feel
I'm getting stuck
Between the handshake
And the f**k
You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars
CHORUS
Sometimes I wish
That I could change
I can't save you from
My poor brain
Headache!, o.k
