A E(X2)
SAomebody Escreamed and all of Jim Jeffries' dreams
Explode into a bDlack fist, he falls to the floor
AHe stares up at the sEky and he may wish he knew why
But you can't go bDack there no more
F#mFuture sounds so crazy
We've all hAeard that song before
TF#momorrow's the name we change from yesterday to blame
When the train just don't Astop here anymore
AI got Estarry-eyed on the coaster ride
Andy says, "maDn I need a break from the world outside"
These dayAs mEy life just careens through a pinball machine
I could do so much betDter but I can't get off the tilt
And there's a F#mphotograph on the TV
Black and white Aand Andy says something to you
F#mJack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like
She says, "I fAorget myself sometimes too"
F#mOut past the doorways where we are sleeping
Well, the Bwhite queens creep
And the Tom cats peep
Chorus
------
Now AI'm not breaking,
The Btrain's just shaking,
I Enever made it here befoAre,
AThere's a white mouse spinning the girls Baround,
'Til they Ecan't take it anymAore
I used to dAream in the dark
of BPalisades park
EUp over the cliffs and
Adown among the sparks
AIt's a long life
BFull of long nights
But it was Enot what I was Bwaiting fAor
DEverybody's seeC#mn the horses diving down the sF#mhore
It's a mC#miracle they don't make them anymorF#me.
ESo make up ladies, wake up baby
AYou walked inEto the bar like some Saturday star
Stud-straight on sDpiked heels and needles and nerves,
AYou're a Edown town pride, fully amplified Clyde,
Gin-tight and Daging but well-preserved,
Remember F#mAndy outside your bedroom window,
Saying "come on, let's dArive across to the Palisades"
Keep gF#moing 'til we hit Reno, Nevada
I don't see Andy aAll that much these days,
Still there are pF#mages in back,
Of the action stacks
Where, the wBhite queens creep
And the Tom cats peep and...
Now the tArains not braking,
The tBrack's just shaking,
I nEever made it here befoAre,
And there's a sAky rocket turning the Bworld around,
E'Til I can't take it anyAmore
AYou can carry that spark
from BPalisades park
EDown over the cliffs and Aout into the dark
AIt's a long life
BFull of long nights
But it was Enot what I was Blooking Afor
DEverybody dreams of C#mhorses flying round the shF#more
It's a bC#mad dream we're not having anymorF#me
EMan,
Have you sF#meen Andy?
Hey mEan hey man!
Have you seen him aroF#mund?
Hey mEan!
Have you seen my my my my my my my AF#mndy?
Have you Eseen him? x 4 Hey!
Have you seen Andy aroF#mund?
EDressed up in our pirate best
All lF#meathers and feather and pearls
Andy said, A"look at me man, I'm cooking these hands could
EFinger up this whole world"
He said, "come Eoutside
F#mClimb out your bedroom window
AShimmy down the fire escape and sEay good-bye
ECome outside"
Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like F#mEdie
Changing all the time my leopAard spots to polka dots and sEay good-bye
CEome outside
Well maybe we could F#mmove to California
JAust meet me at the subway and saEy good-bye
CEome outside
The cops all think we're cF#razy
If you stay you'll just get Amarried
To a girl who'll never know you and then sEay good-bye
EHey man, have you seen Andy?
I lF#most her in the sun
I was Ahigh as a kite on lovely and white
Man, you could Elose anyone
EHey hey man, have you seen Andy?
F#mI don't know where she's gone
ABut real love outlives teenage lust
We could get wet Eand it keeps us warm
F#mLove is like angel dust
Lovely sometimes changes us
...Esometimes not
F#mHave you bee aching to trust or just...?
AHave you been waking yourself with lust...?
F#mHave you been making us up or just taking us hoAme?
EIt's a long wait
At a lonEg light
Cars frozen Ein flight
All Athe traffic stops to stare
F#mAt a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada
AWearing nothing but air
And a pair of F#mgrey paper wings
Andy thinks, "man, I have Agot nothing to wear"
F#mWe got nothing new and
AWe got nothing to wear
AWe got nothing to wear
AWe got nothing to wear
