I played a C chord
But I was looking for the sound
Of a car falling over a cliff

I played the Am chord
Of a comet passing through a narrow mountain valley
But I was looking for the sound of the wind
blowing through the dresses of women on the beach

I played a G chord
I wanted the sound of gears going up a level
Driving into a tsunami with a carnival float in tow

I played an F chord
I searched its steps looking for a gold watch left on the staircase
And I found it exploding like an underwater earthquake
