[Intro]
Dm   C   G4x
GHot summer night, the Fworking girls were Gon their way back home
It was Ggetting late so I Ftagged along, couldn't Glet them walk alone
GI followed them up some Fgreasy steps to a Grooftop in the sky
No Gwalls around just a Fsea of stars, my Gthroat was getting dry
Dm   C   G2x
GEveryone could Ffeel the heat that's Gwhy we all disrobed
Our Gclothes and iFnhibitions went off fGlying 'cross the globe
GDancing crazy Fgetting loose and Gcloser to the edge
I could Gfeel my blood was Fup and it was Gpounding in my head
Dm   C   G2x
FSo there I was, just Ame and the girls
GUnder the moonlight Bbon the tCop of the world
Dm   C   G2x
FSo there I was, just Ame and the girls
GUnder the moonlight Bbon the tCop of the world
N.C.
As things were dying down we retreated from the precipice
N.C.
I lay beside the most beautiful girl in the universe
N.C.
Her name was Venus in Heaven
N.C.
She fed me rice and offered me wine
N.C.
I accepted ambrosia and nectar
N.C.
From an amber goddess
N.C.
I collapsed between the thighs of Morpheus
N.C.
Next thing I felt was a sharp pain of sunrise
N.C.
My mouth was open and full of rice
N.C.
As I managed to prize open one of my eyes
N.C.
I saw Luigi the cockroach carry off his prize
N.C.
And there lay Venus still sprawled out and naked for sure
N.C.
But not quite what she was the night before
N.C.
I made my excuses and left through the door
N.C.
Stepped into space at the twentieth floor
N.C.
And that's why I don't like heights no more
[Outro]
Dm C G
