There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on
GbDb/F
And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning
EbAbGb
Away in the distance there's a blue flashing light
BbmGbDb
Someone's in trouble somewhere tonight
Gb/DbDbAbGb
As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse
EbmDbAbBbm
The wind blows away all of yesterday's news

Well they've locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches
They always could find us but they never could catch us
Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe
We watched the arrested get taken away
And that cigarette haze has ecology heat
As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street
F7BbmDb/Ab
`Cause the steams in the boiler, the coals in the fire
GbAb7Db
If you ask how I am then I'll just say inspired
F7BbmDb/Ab
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
EbmGbAb7
Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died
