C13
I was born yesterday 
When they brought my Kamakiri

                              C9  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                       Ab9
    (This route could be trouble) 

A9
Steamin' up 


     F#7-9+5      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 


         Cmaj13              B7           C9
We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time 


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


                         C9 C13
On the side of the road


 
Lots of blood and broken glass 


C9       C13
Well the kid who was driving 


                      C9    C13
I know from somewhere 


                             C9 C13
Some kids just drive too fast 
Wait just a minute 


                             C9 C13
There's a beautiful survivor 


                                       C9 C13                   
With dancer's legs and laughing eyes 


                                    C9 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

F9                    Ab9 
(Let's talk about the good times)

   C13
We pull into Five Zoos 
Past motels and drive-thrus
That noon sun is blinding 


    F9
The tidepools are boiling 


                 G7
Below plates are grinding
