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

(Ab/C Db)
(Ab Bbm)
(Fm Gb)
(Ab/Eb Db)

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

F7                        Bbm  Db/Ab
'Cause the steams in the boiler, the coals in the fire
Gb              Ab7     Db
If you ask how I am then I'll just say inspired
F7                     Bbm Db/Ab
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
Ebm          Gb     Ab7
Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died
