Intro: A (electric)

Verse 1
                                                  
I'm told the eventual downfall is just a bill from the restaurant. 
                                        
You told me I could order the moon, babe, just as long as I shoot what I want.
                                                             
What the last ten minutes have taught me: bet the hand that your money's on. 
                                                          
Where the hell have the '70s brought me? You trade me away long gone. 

Chorus 1
                                                         
For the love of a god, you say, not a letter from an occupant.  
                                       
("ooo-weee-ooo-eeeoooo-oooweeeooo-weeeeoooo-oooo") (x2)

Verse 2
                                                           
The time that your enemy gives you, good times are not the ones you want. 
                                             
I cried five rivers on the way here, which one will you skate away on? 
                                                   
The tune you'll be humming forever, all the words are replaced and wrong,
                                         
with a shower of yeahs and whatevers, you trade me away long gone. 

Chorus 2
                                                        
For the love of a god, you say, not a letter from an occupant. 
                                      
"ooo-weee-ooo-eeeoooo-oooweeeooo-weeeeoooo-oooo" (x2)
                                                    
Where have all sensations gone? Where have all sensations gone? (x2)
                     
"Ommlllalalmmamlallallala" (or something like that.)
 
Chorus 2 
                                                          
For the love of a god, you say, not a letter from an occupant.  (x3)

Bridge
                                            
The song, the song, the song that's shaking me.

*Repeat Chorus 1 (x2), go into the 'ooos' (x2) and end on A.

-Cheers, J.B.
