G# A# I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids F D#7 The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids G# A# The ceiling is invisible thereʼs a bird sinkin thru the sky F D#7 And every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry C# G# Cuz itʼs lonely here in the ugly part of town A# D#7 The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down G# A# Thereʼs a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin F D#7 The sewer drain is glowing and I donʼt know what state Iʼm in G# A# And the river is on fire thereʼs chemicals and debris F D#7 And all the roads are blocked off theyʼre just too hard to see C# G# So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show A# D#7 Cuz Iʼm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own G# A# So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair F D#7 The limitations are limitless theyʼre floating thru the air C# G# Cuz itʼs real and itʼs true the things I see in you A# D#7 And thereʼs nothin I wouldnʼt talk about with the clearest dream G# that ever drifted by
