FWhile the traffic hGums
FWhen the madness coGmes
FAs the wire buzGzes
FWhile the weary Grun
AmLike a flower that rFeaches out it's fCingers to the rGain
AmLike a bird that flFies above the Cgutters and the Ggraves
COpen up your fGace
COpen up your Gface
And mFove without a tGrace
You Fmove without a tGrace
FAnd the water's Gfine
FAs we drift Gaway
FEvery single Gnight
FEvery single Gday
AmLike a human caFnnonball who hCears the match strike Gflame
AmLike a prisoner Flistening to the Crumble of the trGain
COpen up your fGace
COpen up your fGace
AmAnd move witFhout a Gtrace
AmYou move witFhout a Gtrace
And I know yoCu want me, I Fwant you
CYou want me, I Fwant you
CYou want me, FI want you
FWhen it's coming Gdown,
FTropical Grain
FAll the neighbours Grunning out 
FOn the street Gagain
AmLike a cool wind blFowing on some Cdesert afternoonG  
AmLike the priest who kneFels before his CMary in the glooGm
COpen up your fGace
COpen up your fGace
AmAnd move witFhout a Gtrace
AmYou move witFhout a Gtrace
And I know yoCu want me, I Fwant you
