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

[A] [E] [Em] [F#]
[F#] [F#m] [F#m] [B]
[C] [B] [Bm] [Bm] [D#] [F]
of the Broadway everglades
[C#] With our mythical [A#] mandalas
[F] Still walking in their shades
Benny Bruce declares the truth
And places on the hill
[C#] Hush of the fluent [C#m] casual view
With [F] Ed Bury it in the sand
Sirens on the rooftops wailing
[A#m] But there's no ship sailing
[Cm] [F] Groucho with his movies trailing
[A#m] Stands alone with his [Cm] punchline [F] failing
A few clucks plants and hot soul food
And the band plays in the mood
[C#] The cheerleader waves her [A#] cyanide wand
[F] Does the smell of peach blossom and bitter almond
Carl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade
He [C#] knows [C#m] in a scent you [F] can bother all you may
Power queues in blue suede shoes
[A#m] Smiling at the majorettes smoking [F] Winston cigarettes
[A#m] And as the song and dance [F] begins
The children play it on
[A#] With needles, [C] [D] needles and pins
[Am] [E]
[Am] [D] [Am]
[E] [C] [D]
[Am] [E]
