[A] _ _ [N] _ This is a song about how, when sometimes, sometimes you found it necessary to rob the
safe at the restaurant where you work, _ _ and they, and it's funny, your friends who have
good jobs, _ what good can come of that?
_ Here I quote your friends, _ they only have about $2,000 in there. _ _ _
_ _ If you were honest with your friends, _ you would say, look, _ _ $2,000 will buy me a quarter
pound _ of _ _ peanut butter crank, _ and I'll be going for a good 10 days off that, unless
I meet up with some friends.
Then you may stop to think to yourself _ that you're likely to meet up with some friends, _ _
new friends.
_ People you didn't really know until word began to spread in the neighborhood.
_ John robbed a safe, _ and he took all 2K, and he bought a quarter pound.
_ He's in room 10, _ 253 North Broadway, you can't miss it.
_ Faces Broadway at an angle across from the Coliseum, and so there you are with your new
friends listening to King Diamond, as you do.
_ _ [A] _ _
High for three days and beginning to talk nonsense, and you may _ think to yourself, I
wish I had a song to sing.
_ You may only hold this thought for a second or so, _ but I heard you when you thought that,
and that's why I wrote you this song.

[E] Home Boulevard, _ _ [Bm] _ between [A] Gary [D] and White, _ [A] I hooked up with some friends [E] at Travel Heart.
_ [D] We set ourselves [E] on fire, _ _ _ [A] our band room acts in [E] the dresser, _ _ [Bm] _ _
[A] flies in [D] the screen.
[A] It's gonna be too late by [E] the time we learn [D] what [A] these _ [E] symbols mean.
And [A] I'm _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ haunted [A] by all you _ tweakers with [D] your hands out, _ _ _ _ [A] and the hedge stumps _ _ climbed
up the [D] hill, _ _ _ _ _ [A] and the hedge _ stumps _ climbed up [D] the hill.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[A] _ Tressle body, [E] Aguasota, _ _ _
[Bm] come through the [D] carpet from Clues, _ [A] _
reflective tape [E] on our sweatpants.
[D] Great big holes [E] in our shoes. _ _
[A] _ _ Every couple [E] minutes, [Bm] someone says you [Em] can't [A] stand it [D] anymore. _ _
[A] _ Half lines on [E] our faces, _
[D] _ scale maps [E] of the ocean [Em] floor, and [A] I'm _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
pointing out _ _ from inside _
[D] the television, _ _ _ _ _ and [A] the air, _ _ _ _ [D] yawning and blinking, _ _ _ _ [A] and the hedge stumps _ climbing up [D] the hill.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
[C#m] _ _ _ If [D] anybody _ comes [A] to see, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ they [D] just missed me [A] by a minute. _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ If [D] anybody comes into [A] our room, we'll be asleep. _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] Baggins in a ring, [D] _ every [E] rocky day and [Em] night, [A] and I fell _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ asleep.
_ _ _ Well, [A] they _ _ manufactured what [D] I needed, _ _ _ _ [A] using _ _ _ _ shiny [D] new machines, _ _ _ _ _ [A]
and the hedge _ stumps _ climbed
[D] up the hill, climbed up, climbed up.
