C13
I was born yesterday
When they brought my Kamakiri

                              C9  C13
When they handed me the keys
It's a steam-power 10
The frame is out of Glasgow
The tech is Balinese
It's not a freeway bullet
Or a bug with monster wheels
It's a total biosphere
The farm in the back
Is hydroponic
Good, fresh things
Every day of the year
Good, fresh things
Every day of the year
With all screens and functions
In sync lock with Tripstar
This cool rolling bubble

   F9
Is all set to samba


                    G9
This route could be trouble


F9                       Ab9
    (This route could be trouble)

A9
Steamin' up


     F#7-9+5      F#7
That Trans-Island Skyway


Cmaj13                           B7
       Tryin' to make that final deadline


            A9
And if the lanes are clear


            F#7-9+5        F#7
We're gonna drive a little harder


         Cmaj13              B7           C9
We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time


D7 C#7 C13
          Say, there's a wreck


                         C9 C13
On the side of the road



Lots of blood and broken glass


C9       C13
Well the kid who was driving


                      C9    C13
I know from somewhere


                             C9 C13
Some kids just drive too fast
Wait just a minute


                             C9 C13
There's a beautiful survivor


                                       C9 C13
With dancer's legs and laughing eyes


                                    C9 C13
C'mon snakehips, it's all over now



Strap in tight cause it's a long sweet ride

  C7
Relax - put some sounds on
I'll brew up some decaf
C'mon kick off those heels ma'am


    F9
Now breathe in and sigh out


                    G9
Let's get with the program

F9                    Ab9
(Let's talk about the good times)

D13

D11                                  D13
     These little streets I used to know

                G9
C'mon daddy get in let's go


   C13
We pull into Five Zoos
Past motels and drive-thrus
That noon sun is blinding


    F9
The tidepools are boiling


                 G7
Below plates are grinding


F9                       Ab9           D13-5
