Verse:
Dm
Past the gates
Bbm
Quite stark
Am                       Asus2
The roses trimmed and the windows dark
Dm                       Bbm
I see the walls through a limestone crack

Not red, not blue, not yellow, but black

And all the space left for you

He taught me many things

The wisdom of o' bleak stratagems
Dm               Bbm
The prophet of a sapphire soul

Presented through creative freedoms

And everything I say is true

'Cause if i was telling lies it'd probably show

We're always one step behind him
G
He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
A
Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

Verse:
When I was stuck he'd make me memorize elaborate curses
Tinctures and formulas 
To ditch the choir and flip the verses
My whole foundation came unglued
When I tried to humanize by ambient light

Chorus:
Dipping swords in metaphors yeah 
But what does he know?
He's go the whole world behind him 
He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

Well all alone by the oldest stone where the shade trees grow

The creature by the water feature with a ghostly glow
