         Dm                   G
A human statue made of living stone,
       Dm                 G
A paradox etched in human bone,
           Dm                          G
If you can see behind his thin disguise,
                 Dm                        G
There`s a hidden glint of madness in his eyes oh eye.

His superficial grace his charm his style,

where Saxophone,Keyboard,Instrumental,Percussion and Lead Guitar dominated parts appear
and the Dm    G    for the Verses you get the best of both,the choice is yours?]
