Half a block away

Powered up by love

A speaker with a tear

We're gonna be in a famous band
C                   F
We're gonna go real far
C                 F
So pass over that bottle o' wine

We'll smoke all the cigarettes

I heard an old man next door

I think we killed 'im with our sound
C                     F
I saw the body in the ambulance
C                       F
Maybe we should turn it down
