Intro: Em C (x2)
verse 1
Em C
Atom-smashers in the cocktail lounge tonight
Em C
Opera singers in the graveyard keeping time
Em C
And the DJ mixes them all
Em C
And the music rhymes but it crawls
Em C
And the music comes from hydrogen bombs
Em C
Rock bands died when amateurs won
Em C
Data in a hurry, using the new rubble
Em C
Wipe it up baby, gonna get yourself in trouble
Bm Em
We were burnt by the sun
Bm A
Having way too much fun
F G C Am
Sleepless downtown overload
G#7 B7
Does the daylight bring you down?
Instrumental
Em C (x2)
verse 2
Em C
Money pours down and it drowns the little man
Em C
Parking lot attendants stuff their pockets with their hands
Em C
And the children laugh in your face
Em C
They can see what you have erased
Em C
When dogs make love they don't look at themselves
Em C
Checking out each other by the way that they smell
Em C
Rubbing and a'scratching, itching all the time
Em C
Stop me if I talk too much, do another line
Bm Em
We were burnt by the sun
Bm A
Having way too much fun
F G C Am
The church of private enterprise
G#7 B7
Did the daylight bring you down?
Interlude: Em C (x4)
verse 3
Em C
I love salt, I love sweets
Em C
I know there's danger but I fall asleep
Em C
The curves, the gasps, the love of life
Em C
Headlines, gum box, faceless paradise
Em C
Life rafts bobbing at the bottom of the pier
Em C
Wood burns faster if it's soaked in gasoline
Em C
All these towns look the same, everybody's clean
Em C
Roll 'em out, cheap and fast, kiss me when I fall
Bm Em
We were burnt by the sun
Bm A
Having way too much fun
F G C Am
Sleepless downtown overload
G#7 B7
Did I stay outside too long?
Instrumental
Em C (x2)

Alcohol, razor-blades
Em C
All the clouds are miles away
Em C
Take me down, far away
Em C
Everyone's on holiday

Alcohol, razor-blades

All the clouds are miles away

Take me down, far away
