^GOh, oh, oh brother totem pole ^GI saw your legends lined up And I never felt more natural ^Am A^Empart, I just cam^Ame a^Empart

^GPlease, please, please sister Socrates ^GYou always answer with a question Show some kindness to a petty thief ^Am For^Emgive, you di^Amd for^Emgive

Watch the ^Cmigrants smoke in the ^Dold orange grove And the ^Gred rocket blaze over ^CCape Canaveral You’ve been a ^Cfather to me in 19^D60’s speak Give me ^Gcomatose joy like ^Crerun TV While the m^Amountain’s side was shining Wild colors of my destiny ^G I watched your ^Amface age backwards Changing shape in my memory ^G You taught me ^Amvictory’s sweet Even deep in the cheap seats ^G

^GHey, hey, hey mother interstate ^GCan you deliver me from evil Make me honest make me wedding cake ^Am A^Emtone, I wil^Aml ato^Emne ^GWait, wait, wait mighty outer-space ^GAll that flying saucer terror Made me lazy drinking lemonade ^Am A ^Emwaste, it just^Am went to ^Emwaste

Like the ^CFreon cold out the ^Dhotel door Or the ^Gwhite rocket fade over ^CCape Canaveral You’ve been a ^Cdaughter to me your ^Dburied shoe-box grief I felt your ^Gpoltergeist love like ^Csavannah heat While the ^Amwaterfall was pouring Crazy symbols of my destiny ^G I watched your ^Amface die backwards Little baby in my memory ^G You told me ^Amvictory's sweet Even deep in the cheap seats ^G

^CAnd you don’t judge m^Eme ^C That’s not your ^Dstyle ^C But I won’t see you^Em for a ^Bmlittle while ^C And there’s no ^Emworries, oh lord^C Who's got ^Dtime ^C All these c^Emhanges gonna^D fill your mind

Like the ^Ccitrus glow off the ^Dold orange grove Or the ^Gred rocket blaze over ^CCape Canaveral It’s been a ^Cnightmare to me Some 19^D80’s greed Gives me ^Gparachute dreams Like ^Cold war movies While the ^Amuniverse was drawing perfect circles for infinity ^G I watched the ^Amstars get smaller Tiny diamonds in my memory ^G I know that ^Amvictory is sweet Even deep in the cheap seats ^G
