A# C I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids G F7 The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids A# C The ceiling is invisible thereʼs a bird sinkin thru the sky G F7 And every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry D# A# Cuz itʼs lonely here in the ugly part of town C F7 The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down A# C Thereʼs a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin G F7 The sewer drain is glowing and I donʼt know what state Iʼm in A# C And the river is on fire thereʼs chemicals and debris G F7 And all the roads are blocked off theyʼre just too hard to see D# A# So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show C F7 Cuz Iʼm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own A# C So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair G F7 The limitations are limitless theyʼre floating thru the air D# A# Cuz itʼs real and itʼs true the things I see in you C F7 And thereʼs nothin I wouldnʼt talk about with the clearest dream A# that ever drifted by
