[Verse 1: Peven Everett]
Am C Bm Am    Am Bm Am G  C
 
           Am
Momentary pain
                  C
Can be pleasure lain
              Bm
Millisecond change
N.C.
Magic lantern strange
                 Am                C
Are we just too far, to be as one again?
           Bm
Are we obsidian?            
Is this how it is?
                      Am
Girl, your life will turn
             C
Just like a strobe
                        Bm
Because you're daddy's pain
N.C.
And your mother won't
                 Am                      C
And your heart engages into heartless throes
         Bm
Are we obsidian?
N.C.
Is this how it goes?
 
[Chorus: Choir + Peven Everett]
Am                     C
And when your private life is dreamin'
                       Bm
You livin' the strobe light
Am                     C
And you will find the life you needed
C                          Bm
You livin' the strobe light
 
[Verse 2: Peven Everett]
                     Am
Slide the light off you
                    C
You may find some peace
                  Bm
All will come to you
N.C
If you come with me
 
                 Am                      C
And your heart engages into heartless throes
         Bm
Are we obsidian?
N.C.
Is this how it ends?
(Yeah!)
 
[Chorus: Choir + Peven Everett]
Am                     C
And when your private life is dreamin'
                       Bm
You livin' the strobe light
Am                     C
And you will find the life you needed
C                          Bm
You livin' the strobe light
 
[Peven Everett]
Oh yeah!
 
[Chorus: Choir + Peven Everett]
Am                     C
And when your private life is dreamin'
                       Bm
You livin' the strobe light
Am                     C
And you will find the life you needed
C                          Bm
You livin' the strobe light
 
Am                     C
And when your private life is dreamin'
                       Bm
You livin' the strobe light
Am                     C
And you will find the life you needed
C                          Bm
You livin' the strobe light
 
[Outro: Choir + Peven Everett]
Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra
    Am
And when you got it
                C
And then you dreamin'
                         Bm
(You livin' the strobe light)
             Am
You hit the light
           Am
Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra
               Am
You’ve got to find it
               C
You know you need it
(You livin' the strobe light)
               Bm
You hit the light
