X-ray Style

Chords: [E] [B] [A] [F#m]

[E]I see a million walk the [B]city mile
[E]The tickertape kings and the [B]juveniles
[A]Will anybody tell me which w[E]ay to go
[A]Will anybody come back on the [F#m]C.B. radi[A]o

[E]I'm counting the stars and the t[B]elegraph poles
[E]And each one represents the [B]hopes of a soul
[A]You'd think that God wouldn't [E]be so hard
[A]When you see all the little c[F#m]hildren running, [A]running in the backyard

[E]On a Mississippi gourd with a [B]Sub-Sahran song
[E]Somebody is wailing in the fina[B]ncial district sun
[A]Can anybody feel the distance t[E]o the Nile
[A]I wanna live and I [F#m]wanna dance a[A]while

[E]Gonna make like Eddie on my [B]rockabilly train
[E]Gonna beat out the blues on my [B]ball and chain
[A]Oh, you can't pull a hold-up with a [E]Be-Bop gun
[A] There's people living now
who aint [F#m]got no heart and ain't n[A]ever had none

(surely, youve got it by now)

Down on the border they crawl all the way

To get a clip of living with a clean-all spray

Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile

I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile

You can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun

There's people living now

who aint got no heart and ain't never had none

I hear a payphone ringing out on murder mile

The sucker who picks up gets his number dialled

And all the sparkling waters that ever flowed

Could never wash down this town so clean that it glowed

And I need to see in an x-ray style

I need some rock art that don't come in a vial

Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile

I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
