Intro:     

Verse:                     
        E-------------------------
        B-------------------------  (This is the sort of rhythm)
        G-----------7-7-----------
        D-7---7-7---7-7---7---7-7-
        A-7---7-7---5-5---7---7-7-
        E-5---5-5---------5---5-5- 

I'm a big, tall man
I cut the grass
My left eye hurts
I am waiting and reading parts
I can be a complicated communicator

Chorus:
                   
Yes I'm winning, spinning
                                    
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
                    
And it feels goo-oo-ood
                   
Like relieving a headache.

Verse 2:
Zeus and Athens
Florida driveway
Asphalt and tires
Sand and the beach,
Rocker panel
Headlights in the dark...
I'm drag racing
Drag

Chorus:
Yes I'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache
Yes I'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Bridge:

 Fog and the distance beyond it

 Boats and the quiet morning noises

 I'm walking the shoreline

 A beer and a cigarette

 A bug with twitching antennae

 A button up short-sleeved shirt

Chorus:
Yes I'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Verse 3:
I'm a big tall man
I cut the grass
My left eye hurts
I can be a complicated communicator

Chorus:
Yes I'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache
(repeated several times with background vox:)
Yes, I'm careening down!
Winding the canyons, now!
Yes, I am broadcasting myself!)
Yes I'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache
Yes I'm winning
Spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache
