Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand

   C                                 Em
   Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
   C
   Moonlight spills on comic books
       Em            F
   And superstars in magazines
     C                                       Em
   An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
        C
   Her plane takes off from Baltimore
        Em             F
   And touches down on Bourbon Street
      C                               Em
   We sit outside and argue all night long
    C
   About a god we've never seen
       Em             F
   But never fails to side with me
   C                              Em
   Sunday comes and all the papers say
   C
   Ma Teresa's joined the mob
        Em             F
   And happy with her full time job
   C
   Do do do do doo do
      C                              Em
   Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
        C
   Does summer come for everyone?
       Em           F
   Can humans do as prophets say?
        C                         Em
   And if I die before I learn to speak
        C
   Can money pay for all the days
      Em             F
   I lived awake but half asleep?
   C
   Do do do do doo do x 2
     C                                   Em
   A life is time, they teach us growing up
       C
   The seconds ticking killed us all
     Em              F
   A million years before the fall
        C                                      Em
   You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
       C
   You swim like lions through the crest
        Em               F
   And bathe yourself on zebra flesh
   C
   I've been downhearted baby,
   I've been downhearted baby,
                  Em     F
   Ever since the day we met
(repeat)
