Whose streets? Our streets

repeat till end

One, two, three, four! This ain't no fly by night deal Sure no one knows what is real This ain't no fly by night deal Ram it here and shove it there Study all the questions and fill in what you can Try to be nice and be sincere Even though your blood is boiling in here Cause no one sees what's getting lost Hitting things in the forest have a cost It's just too high, and it's just two deer So move those animals out of here How do you feel about tomorrow What happened yesterday, the time you borrowed To be here today and celebrate, celebrate Cause it's not too late This ain't no fly by night deal Sure no one knows what is real Ram it here and shove it there Study all the questions and fill in what you can Try to be nice and be sincere Even though your blood is boiling in here Cause no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more Hitting things in the forest have a cost It's just too high, and it's just two deer So move those animals out of here Move 'em out, move 'em out, move 'em out, move 'em out This ain't no fly by night deal This ain't no fly by night deal

Lately I been thinkin' 'bout the changing world

D7

G

Tryin' to fit in pieces of dreams

G

Bm

C

A7

Just tryin' to add it up, figure out what it means

D7

G

D7

When a lost planet comes tumbling home

G

Bm

Does it have to have a beer

C

A7

To break free from what is here

D7

G

And continue to pick up those pieces of dreams

G

Bm

And I'm livin' with a gameshow host

C

A7

Before that starts me thinkin' distracting me again

D7

G

D7

Do I have something to say?

G

Bm

C

A7

Maybe just a feelin' that things are bound to change

D7

Or just that crazy searchlight lightin' someone's way

A7

I'm not gonna work it out right here and right now

Hear that crazy little bird callin' out his song

D7

G

D7

Standin' out on a limb almost too long

Singin' out to his mate, she answers every time

Stand tall for earth Long may our planet live Together we can win As long as you and I Stand tall Stand tall Some say it's the era of sedition Our way of life turning upside down Old ideas put out on exhibition Like criminals paraded through the town You can turn with me We can face this foe Wherever you go Whatever you do We win when you and I Stand tall Stand tall Stand tall for earth Long may our planet live Together we can win As long as you and I Stand tall Stand tall For a woman's right to be equal Doing all that she was born to do Let earth become a rainbow of people Blending all the colors as they choose It's the dawn of our day The light of our way Wherever you go Whatever you do We win when you and I Stand tall Stand tall Stand tall Stand tall The boy king don't believe in science It goes against the big money truth His play-pen is full of deniers They'll flush our future down the tubes Don't you get me wrong 'Cause we got to be strong Wherever we go Whatever we do We win when you and I Stand tall Stand tall Stand tall Stand tall

Don't tell no stories, don't tell no lies Not even the ones you already tried Not proud of lies, nothing is saved Just a road to nowhere, your name engraved They pick up on you as you pick up on them Just cause they're birds don't mean you can't fly So don't be sorry, the pastor touched my hand There on the church steps, I was nine or ten

And looked into the barrel at Evel Knievel's great-grandfather

E

Am

E

(Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival) He was flying by in a silver jacket He rode there in the barrel wall racket Securely held by centrifugal forces (Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival) Every time he touched the edge With the gas pipe gulp of the fumes in my lungs And melt my mind exploding (Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)

The giant wheel turned in the sky Its colors splashed in my eyes The barkers calling to me on the midway (Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival) I held the picture in my eye From a photo booth near by With a girl so lovely, I loved hear dearly at the time (Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival) She had the sugar in her eyes I was totally mesmerized As we walked together towards the big tower (Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival) Flying through the air With the greatest of ease The daring young lady In the greatest show on earth

Am

x3

Aside a girl of flaming red hair Later that day I returned there Perhaps the devil himself had been her father (Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival) Then we consumed the giant midway Taking it in 'til it threw us away Yes, we wandered among the crowds of circus goers, circus goers (Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival) Eating fire and swallowing snakes A pot pourri of nature's mistakes On display at the tent of the bearded ladies (Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival) Grinding through the night With the greatest of ease The daring young lady In the greatest show on earth

Am

We were grinding to the human beat There was nothing safe about it Nothing was right and nothing was wrong on the midway (Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)

I do resent too much time was spent

In the tent of the strange elephant of enlightenment

Trees and plants have nothing new to say Planets are just bumbles, floating carelessly Streets lined up with boxes, so it seems Lined up there forever by their builders Standing in the way of children's dreams So I made my way down this highway Stopping now to rest and then to eat Trying not to damage that that's in my way Lookin' for a way to be complete

C

Fadd9

That's how it ends in the beginning That's how I plan to say goodbye Leavin' bells just as they were ringing I'm not trying to make something die My friend Al got the message Sent it down that street with the boxes on Lined up there forever, filled with thinkers Working on solutions here and gone (gone)

C

Fadd9

I really want to make a difference Trying now to help him with the work Originating in the heart of something Worth keeping in the soul when it gets hurt

C

Fadd9

As we keep on building rows of boxes To think inside of what we will With increasing distance from the foxes From the wolves and whip-poor-wills And from the crows and all the sea creatures Mermaids and the galleons of war Crossing over untold waves of fortunes To finally crash upon the shore

C

Upon the shore Upon the shore On the shore On the shore On the shore Rescued there by primitive tribesman Living in round triangles forevermore Never ever in a straight line And always on the road to Heaven's door (aaah)
