VERSE 1
E
November promises it seems,
E
Broken February dreams
E
That don?t come true,
E
But do you remember me?
E       E       F           G
I don?t remember you
E       D#      C#      B           A
Were you the one who liked to sing?
A

Or just some other one, it?s strange
E       D#      C#      B           A
How Paige remains she stays the same
A
And we?re always changing

CHORUS 1

F#                         C#
We are driving on the ceiling,
            E         B
There are aliens on motorcycles,
F#                    C#
Riding in the radio
            E                          B
While we destroy the world
           F#               C#
I said, Oh oh oh no no,
               E                            B
And the news it read the future?s dead,
            F#                     C#
When Elvis went to Hollywood,
E           B
That?s when?.  [STOP]

VERSE 2
E
So long goodbye,
E
The taste of wedding cakes,
E
The sound of nursery rhymes,
E
The ghost of Fredriksberg,
E
Of Alex Chilton,
E
Of Victor Frankenstein,
E       D#      C#      B
The girl you always loved,
       A
The one you have no memory of,
E       D#      C#      B
It?s strange how Paige remains,
                       A
She paid for rain on the invasion

CHORUS 2
F#                         C#
We are driving on the ceiling,
            E         B
There are aliens on motorcycles,
F#                    C#
Hiding in the radio
            E                          B
While we devour the world
           F#               C#
I said, Oh oh oh no no,
               E                            B
And the future said the news is dead
            F#                     C#
When Elvis went to Hollywood,
E           B
That?s when?.  [STOP]

VERSE 3

                    E          B
The god of Maine proclaimed,
       A
The last evacuation of a dream.
        E
The gospel screamed
                   A
A song of movie stars
                               E
And girlie magazines
E       D#      C#      B
The spaceman too
                  A
From somewhere far away

You have to say it?s strange
E       D#      C#      B
We wait in vain,
                       A
The rocket?s came and now we?re fading


CHORUS 3
F#                         C#
We are hiding on the ceiling,
            E         B
There are aliens on motorcycles,
F#                    C#
Riding from the radio
            E                          B
While they destroy the world
           F#               C#
I said, Oh oh oh no no,
               E                            B
And the paper?s said the king is dead
            F#                     C#
When Elvis went to Hollywood,
E           B
That?s when?.  [STOP]
