Inside my future eye

What I see just makes me cry

I'm way down now, I'm way down now

The clocks will all run backwards

Thursday night and Friday
       A augmentedA
Will be on Tuesday night instead

And the movement will increase
      E MajorE
There's something about the living, babe
    A augmentedA
That sends me off my feet

      A augmentedA
There's breeding in the sewers
     BB
And the rats are on their way
      E MajorE
They're clouding up the images
    E MajorE
Of my perfect day

    A augmentedA
And I know, I'm not alone
    BB
And I know, I'm not alone
    E MajorE
And I know, I'm not alone

BB
Inside my TV eye
A augmentedA
I never stop to wonder why
   E MajorE
I'm way down now, I'm way down now

     A augmentedA
The most honest man, I've ever seen
   E MajorE
I'm way down now, I'm way down
