Can't stop addicted to the shindig
Chop top he says I'm gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation

Defunct the pistol that you pay for
This punk the feeling that you stay for
In time I want to be your best friend
Eastside love is living on the westend

Knocked out but boy you better come to                     w/ (aah)
Don't die you know the truth as some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burn so bright I wonder what the wave meant

White heat is screaming in the jungle
Complete the motion if you stumble
Go ask the dust for any answers
Come back strong with 50 belly dancers                     (Em)

      G                 D
  The world I love, the tears I've dropped
     Bm             Cmaj7
  To be part of the wave can't stop
  G           D       Bm      Cmaj7 
  Ever wonder if it's all for you

  The world I love, the trains I hop
  To be part of the wave can't stop
  Come and tell me when it's time to                       xx o

Sweetheart is bleeding in the snowcone
So smart she's leading me to ozone
Music the great communicator
Use two sticks to make it in the nature

I'll get you into penetration
The gender of a generation
The birth of every other nation
Worth your weight the gold of meditation

This chapter's going to be a close one                     w/ (aah) + extra
Smoke rings I know you're going to blow one
All on a spaceship persevering
Use my hands for everything but steering

Can't stop the spirits when they need you
Mop tops are happy when they feed you
Jay butterfly is in the treetop
Birds that blow the meaning into bebop

  Refrain

Em                D                   Bm              C    D    (ska doux)
Wait a minute I'm passing out, win or lose, just like you
Far more shockin' than anything I ever knew, how 'bout you
Ten more reasons why I need somebody new, just like you
Far more shockin' than anything I ever knew, right on cue

(riff basse w/ genre solo)

Can't stop addicted to the shindig
Chop top he says I'm gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation

Defunct the pistol that you pay for                        w/ (aah) + extra
This punk the feeling that you stay for
In time I want to be your best friend
Eastside love is living on the westend

Knocked out but boy you better come to
Don't die you know the truth as some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burn so bright I wonder what the wave meant

Kick start the golden generator                            (guit + drum)
Sweet talk but don't intimidate her
Can't stop the Gods from engineering
Feel no need for any interfering

Your image in the dictionary                               (guit)
This life is more than ordinary
Can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these
Comin' from space, to teach you of the Pliedes

Can't stop the spirits when they need you                  (juste le fatigant)
This life is more than just a read-thru
