VERSE 1
B Eb Ab F
Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah!
B Eb Ab F
They’re always calling on my telephone
B Eb Ab F
When I pick it up there’s no-one there
Eb Bb
So I walk outside just to take air
VERSE 2
Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you’ll see, who you might meet
This brave new world’s not like yesterday
It can take you higher than the milky way
VERSE 3
Now I’m blinded I can really see, yeah
No more bright lights confusing me, no
Don’t ask me why I’m feeling blue
Because loving you is all I can do, ooh…..
INTRO REPEAT
VERSE 4
Hey good looking boys gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter press you down
All those lies can be so unkind
They can make you feel like you’re losing your mind

What a life!
INTRO REPEAT
VERSE 5
Back to nature boys, Vassar girls too
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental-style Strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it’s wrong or right
VERSE 6
Education is an important key, yes
But the good life´s never won by degrees, no
Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale
Only window shopping – its strictly no sale
VERSE 7
Week end starts Friday soon after eight
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
You may be stranded if you stick around
– and that’s really something…
