You Bbwalk
Surrounded by the Astars

And you Bbknock
At the Agates of night
BbNo answAer

DmBut you walk in
BbWith your decrees
Dm/AAnd you go out

CMakes your dusty feet clean
BCome and jump

AAt sunrise
[Instrumental part]

[Intro]

A Bb

[Verse 1]

You walk

Surrounded by the stars

Bb A

For many days

And you knock

At the gates of night

Bb A

No answer

[Chorus 1]

But you walk in

With your decrees

Dm/A

And you go out

With shaking knees

A street-sweeper appears

Makes your dusty feet clean

Come and jump

On my Are-You-Tired machine

At sunrise

[Instrumental part]

[Verse 2]

D E A

You play your violin

D E A

On Napoleon's nose

D E A

A cop comes and says

D E A

You're one of those

D E A

But you jump

D E A

Into the trumpet of a clown

D E A

And you say to yourself

D E

Maybe I should leave this town?

[Instrumental part and bass solo]

A Bb/A

[Verse 3]

You walk

Beside the twilight street

Bb A

Jewel of the town

And you pass

The make-up zoo

Bb A

Where hungry people meet

[Chorus 2]

They ask you

And you give them

Dm/A

All you need

For a trip to the South

Maybe you think

What sort of idiot am I

Without a bone in my mouth

Bb A

And you turn to the sunrise

[Instrumental part]

[Verse 4]

D E A

You see a famous face

D E A

Behind a golden fence

D E A

A voice sounds round the corner:

D E A

"This is your very last chance!"

D E A

But you laugh

D E A

Like the son of a kangaroo

D E A

I don't believe the TV screen!

D E E

I don't believe you do!
