Intro: alternating between Em and G
SOL MIm
There's something solid forming in the air,
SOL MIm
And the wall of death is lowered in Times Square.
DO MIm
No-one seems to care,
LAm MIm
They carry on as if nothing was there.
SI/SOL SOL5
The wind is blowing harder now,
Gadd9 Em (VII)
Blowing dust into my eyes.
SI/SOL SOL5
The dust settles on my skin,
Gadd9 Em (VII)
Making a crust I cannot move in
Em(XII) Em/maj7 Em6 Em/maj7
And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway.
Instrumental Interlude: alternating Em and G for many measures, then
FA# SOL FA# SOL
SI DO SI DO RE MIb RE MIb
FA FA+
Echoes of the Broadway Everglades,
SIbm DO# FA
With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades:
FA FA+
Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand.
SIbm DO# FA
Marshall Mcluhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand.
FA FA7 SIbm DO# MIb
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing.
FA FA7 SIm MIb
Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline
DO# FA
failing.

Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays 'In the Mood'
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there's a smell of
peach blossom and bitter almonde.
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, he knows
in a scent, you can bottle all you made.
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the
majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes.
And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home
SIb DO RE
with needles; needles and pins.
