Am                        C

Am                    C 
The devil he has a plan 
Am                          C 
A bag a' bones in his pocket 
Am                 D Am 
Got anything you want 
   C   Am       C   Am 
No dust and no rocks 
              C Am 
The whole thing is over 
                 C Am            C Am 
All these beauties in solid motion 
                 C Am        D        Am 
All those beauties, gonna swallow you up 
 
Am 
Hi hi hi hi hi, 
One time too many 
Too far to go 
I, we come to take you home 
 
(as above) 
And when they split those atoms 
It's hotter than the sun 
Blood is a special substance 
They gonna pray for that man 
 
So wake up young lovers 
The whole thing is over 
Watch but touch monkeys 
All that blood, gonna swallow you whole 
 
Hi hi hi hi hi 
What's that?  Who's driving? 
Where we goin'?  Who knows? 
I, we come to take you home 
 
D              C  D             C 
How many people do you think I am 
D                     C 
Pretend I am somebody else 
D              C D                    C D 
You can pretend I'm and old millionaire 
D                               C 
A millionaire washing his hands 
D               C D                    C 
Rattle the bones, dreams that stick out 
  D                        C Bm D 
A medical chart on the wall 
D            C    D                      C 
Soft violence and hands touch your throat 
D                      C 
Ev'ryone wants to explode 
 
Am              C Am         C 
And when your hands get dirty 
Am           C  Am        C Am 
Nobody knows you at all 
Am                              C  Am 
Don't have a window to slip out of 
Am          C      Am 
Lights on, nobody home 
 
(as above) 
Click, click, see ya later 
Beta, beta, no time to rest 
Pika, pika, risky business 
All that blood, will never cover that mess. 
 
Hi hi hi hi hi 
So soft hard feelings 
What's that?  Who's driving? 
No tricks lets go 
I, we come to take you home 
I, we come to take you home 
Hi hi hi hi hi
