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)
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
We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time
|D13 | | | |
|D13 |G13 |D13 | |
D11
We reach the sprangle
D13
Just at dawn
D11 D13
These little streets I used to know
D11
Is that my father
G13
Mowin' the lawn
D13
(C'mon daddy get in let's go)
D11
C'mon daddy get in let's go
D9 D11
C'mon daddy get in let's go
G9
C'mon daddy get in let's go
D11
C'mon daddy get in let's go
D9
C'mon daddy get in let's go
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
(Let's talk about the good times)
A9
Steamin' up
F#7-9+5 F#7
That Trans-Island Skyway
Cmaj13 B7
Tryin' to make that final deadline
