C13 ( continue keyboard simile throughout verse)
I was born yesterday

When they brought my Kamakiriad

                              Bb/C  C13
When they handed me the keys             It's a steam-power 10
The frame is out of Glasgow The tech is Balinese
It's not a freeway bullet Or a bug with monster wheels
It's a total biosphere The farm in the back
Is hydroponic Good, fresh things
Every day of the year Good, fresh things
Every day of the year With all screens and functions
In sync lock with Tripstar This cool rolling bubble

   F9
Is all set to samba

                    G9
This route could be trouble

F9                     Ab13
   This route could be trouble

A9
    Steamin' up

     F#7+5-9        F#7
That Trans-  Island Skyway

Cmaj13                          B7
      Tryin' to make that final deadline

           A9
And if the lanes are clear

            F#7-9+5         F#7
We're gonna drive a  little harder
                                         e4
         Cmaj13              B7          C9
We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time

a4  g# g
D7 C#7 C13
           Say, there's a wreck

                        Bb/C  C13
On the side of the road


Lots of blood and broken glass

Bb/C    C13
Well he kid who was driving

                     Bb/C  C13
I know from somewhere

                             Bb/C  C13
Some kids just drive too fast
Wait just a minute

                             Bb/C  C13
There's a beautiful survivor

                                     Bb/C  C13
With dancer's legs and laughing eyes

                                   Bb/C  C13
C'mon snakehips, it's all over now



Strap in tight cause it's a long sweet ride

   C7
Relax - put some sounds on
I'll brew up some decaf
C'mon kick off those heels ma'am

    F9
Now breathe in and sigh out

                   G9
Let's get with the program

We pull into Five Zoos Past motels and drive-thrus
