Verse

D♭There was a face on a hoarding that G♭someone had D♭drawn on

 And just enough time for the night to pass by without G♭warning D♭ F

E♭Away in the distance there's a blue A♭flashing light G♭

B♭mSomeone's in trouble A♭somewhere D♭tonight

 As the G♭fliD♭ckering D♭neon stands A♭ready to G♭fuse

 The G♭winD♭d blows D♭away all of A♭yesterday's B♭mnews

A♭ C D♭ F/A B♭m F G♭ A♭ C D♭

Verse

 Well they've D♭locked up their daughters and they G♭battened the D♭hatches

 They always could find us but they never could G♭catch us D♭ F

 Through the E♭grease streaked windows of an all night A♭cafe G♭

B♭mWe watched the arrested get A♭taken D♭away

 And that G♭cigD♭arette D♭haze has A♭ecology G♭beat

 As the G♭whoD♭res and the D♭drunks filed A♭in from the B♭mstreet Bbmsus4 B♭m

Chorus

F'Cause the steam's in the boiler the coal's in the B♭mfire B♭m A♭

 If you G♭ask how I am then I'll A♭just say D♭inspired

FIf the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your B♭mside B♭m A♭

E♭mThen you're better off A♭dead if you haven't yet D♭died
