Tuning:
GJehosaphat the mongrel cat
GJumped off the roof toCday
CSome say he fell but GI could tell
He dD7id himself awGay
GHis eyes weren't bright like they were the night
GWe played checkers on the trCain
CGod Bless his soul he was a toGotsie roll
But he's a dD7ead cat just the saGme
Chorus:
We are lCiving in the fuGture
I'll tCell you how I knGow
I reCad it in the paGper
D7Fifteen years aGgo
CWe're all driving rocGket ships
And tCalking with our miGnds
And wCearing turquoise jeGwelry
And sD7tanding in soup liGnes
We are D7standing in soup lGines
GJake the barber's lonely daughter
GWent down to her daddy's sChop
CShe plugged herself to a barGber pole
And tD7ook a little off the tGop
PrGessure on the left. Pressure on the right
PGressure in the middle of the hCole
I'm gCoin' to Maine on a forGty foot crane
I'm gonna uD7se it for a fishin' pGole
Repeat Chorus:
OGld Sarah Brown sells tickets down
AGt the all night picture sChow
CWhere they grind out sex and they raGte it with an "X"
Just to mD7ake a young man's pants gGrow
No Gtops no bottoms just hands and feet
ScGreaming the posters out oCn the street
SCtrangling the curious anGd the weak
We gD7ive them what they wanna seeG
Yeah we gD7ive 'em what they wanna seGe - O
Repeat Chorus:
