1. I hear you talking when I'm on the street,

               G                            A                         D

   your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.

G                                                    - G

    What's the matter with the boy?      He don't come around no more ?

A                                             - A                                                  G     - D

    Is he checking out for sure?    Is he gonna close the door on me?

 

           G                       A                      D

2. I'm always hearing voices on the street,

         G                       A                        D

    I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak.

G                                               - G

    I was making love last night          to a dancer friend of mine,

A

    I can't seem to stay in step,

                        A                                                              G    - D

    'cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me.

3. I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed.

            G                         A                     D

    plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed.

G                                          - G

    Heading for the overload,        splattered on the dirty road,

A                                                                                                  

    kick me like you've kicked before,

A                                                 G    - D

    I can't even feel the pain no more.

E                                  - E                                  B7

    Feel so hypnotized,        can't describe the scene,

E                                 - E                 B7         - A

    it’s all mesmerized        all that inside me.

 

             G                             A                      D

4. The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.

        G                          A                    D

    chasing shadows, moonlight mystery.

G                                          - G

    Headed for the overload,       splattered on the dirty road,

A
