Oh, let me out of pontiac

Chorus 1
Doct                *
As     i      cuddld the por - cu - pine
Doct            *          Doct
he   said   i  had none   to    blame, but me
Doct             *
Held   my    heart,   deep  in   hair
Doct             (7)*

Your sitting in your comfort
    
you don't believe i'm real
        /
well yo cannot buy protection
        /
for the way that i feel

   Your progrssive hypocrites

hand ou their trash
       /
it was mine in the first place
        /
so i'll burn it to ash.


Verse 4
         
And i've taken all the strongest meets
    
and laid them down in coloured sheets
/      /
laid them down in coloured sheets

who needs illusion
   
Of love and affection
          /
when your out walking in the streets
         /
your mainline connection, connection.
