[Em] [A] [E] [A] [Em]
[A] [E] [Em] [E]
[Em] [A] [Em]
Something solid forming in the air
Is lowered in [A] times [Em] square
No [C]
[Em] one seems to care
[Am] They carry on as if [E] nothing was [A] there
The [B] wind is [Em] blowing harder now
Blowing dust into my [B] eyes
The dust [Em] settles on my skin
Making a crust I [G] cannot move [A] in
[Em] And I'm hovering like a fly
[A] Waiting for the [Em] windshield on the [A] freeway
[E] [Em]
Echoes [Bm] [Em] [D]
[Em] [D] [Em]
[Bm] [Em] [Bm]

[A] [E] [Em] [F#] [G] [F#]
[G] [F#m] [F#m] [B] [B] [C]
[Bm] [B] [D] [D#] [F] of a Broadway everglades
[C#] With our mythical mandalas
[A#] [F] Still walking in their shades
Benny Bruce declares a truce
And plays his other hand
[C#] Marshall McLuhan, [C#m] Casual View and
[F] Ed Fiery in the sand
Sirens on the rooftops wailing
[A#m] But there's no ship [Cm] sailing
[F] Groucho with his movies trailing
[A#m] Stands alone with his punchline [F] failing
Two clucks pants of hot soul food
And bad plays in the mood
[C#] The cheerleader waves a [A#] cyanide wand
[F] Does it smell of peach blossom and bitter almond?
Carl Chessman sniffs the air
And leads the parade
[C#] He knows
[C#m] Innocent, you [F] can bottle all you made
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes
[A#m] Smiling at the majorette [Cm] smoking Winston [F] cigarettes
And [A#m] as the song and dance begins
[F] The children play at home
[A#] With needles, [C] needles and [D] pins
[Am] [E] [Am]
