Cx2                      Fx2                     Bbx2                   Fx2
From the Arizona desert, To the Salisbury plain, Lights on the horizon, Patterns on the grain
Cx2                         Fx2                  Bbx2                       Fx2
Anxious eyes turned upward, clutching souvenirs, carrying our highest hopes and our darkest fears


Cx2                             Fx2          Bbx2                             Fx2
They swear there was an accident back in ?47,little man with a great big head splattered down from
        Cx2                    Fx2                 Bbx2                 Fx2
Heaven, Government conspiracy; cover-ups and lies, Hidden in the desert under endless skies


[Bridge]
             Gx2                                             Bbx2
Well, it?s a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, Post, postmodern world
Gx2                                        Bbx2
No time for heroes, no place for good guys No room for rocky the flying squirrel


[Chorus]
            Cx2                      Gx2                                Am7x2
They?re not here, they?re not coming, Not in a million years, Turn your wear eyes back homeward
          Gx2                                Cx2                               Gx2
Stop your trembling, dry your tears, You may see the heavens flashing, You may hear the cosmos
               Am7x2                                Fx2
Humming, But I promise you, my brother, They?re not here, they?re not coming

Would they pile into the saucer, Find Orlando?s rat and hug it?, Go screaming through the universe
Fx2                          Cx2                                           Fx2
Just to get mcnuggets?, Well, I don?t think so, I don?t think so, It?s much too dangerous, it?s much too
                Bbx2                                    Fx2
Strange, Here in a world that won?t give Oprah no home on the range

They?re not here, they?re not coming, Not in a million years, ?til we put away our hatred

But I promise you, my sister, They?re not here, they?re not coming


        Bbx2                       F              C        Bbx2
To this garden we were given, and always took for granted, It?s like my daddy told me,
           F                  C        Bbx2                                    Fx2
I you just bloom where you?re planted, Now you long to be delivered, From this world
                             Am7x2                              Gx2
of pain and strife, That?s a sorry substitution for a spiritual life

Well, it?s a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, Post, postmodern world
Gx2                                          Bbx2
No place for sentiment, no room for romance, Bring back the duke of earl
