An Cearly mid-life crisis looms, and Cfor me to survive it
I'll Amfind myself a motorbike, and Amlearn how to ride it

And Amsleep under the spotted veil, with the Amdirt against my ba-
-ai-ai-Fack, the Fdirt against my Cback

[Verse]
CWhen the eastern sky is blue and the Csparrows whisper low
AmI will make my windy way Amacross the desert slow
To the Ccities and oases that have Csin and life and hope
And Amfind me a girl who looks like you, and Amdance and drink and smo-
-o-Foke, Fdance and drink and Csmoke

FDance and drink and smoke with the Cdirt against my back
In the Amdin we laugh and hope for the Gfuture, present, past
FRolling the dice, you come up Csevens or snake eyes
At the Amend of the day, we'd have Emstayed that Fway if we Ccould
