Then play the verse again with these lyrics...
 
Sleepwalk
So fast asleep
In a motel
That has the lay of home
 
And piss on
All of your background
And piss on
All your surroundings
 
 
Then play the chorus for times.  The last time through,
instead of saying "It didn't come it doesn't matter", say
"It couldn't come at a worst time".
 
 
Now, last but not least, here is the interlude...

Now, repeat the second chorus again, it is followed by the
solo which I have yet to tab out.
