<b class="chord">D</b>
Don't die you know the truth as some do
<b class="chord">Bm</b>
Go write your message on the pavement
<b class="chord">C</b>
Burn so bright I wonder what the wave meant
<b class="chord">Em</b>
White heat is screaming in the jungle
<b class="chord">D</b>
Complete the motion if you stumble

Use two sticks to make it in the nature
<b class="chord">Em</b>
I'll get you into penetration
<b class="chord">D</b>
The gender of a generation
<b class="chord">Bm</b>
The birth of every other nation
<b class="chord">C</b>
Worth your weight the gold of meditation
<b class="chord">Em</b>
This chapter's going to be a close one
<b class="chord">D</b>
Smoke rings I know you're going to blow one
<b class="chord">Bm</b>
All on a spaceship persevering
<b class="chord">C</b>
Use my hands for everything but steering
<b class="chord">Em</b>
Can't stop the spirits when they need you
<b class="chord">D</b>
Mop tops are happy when they feed you

Jay butterfly is in the treetop

Birds that blow the meaning into bebop

Wait a minute I'm passing out, win or lose, just like you
<b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">Bm</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Far more shockin' than anything I ever knew, how 'bout you
<b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">Bm</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Ten more reasons why I need somebody new, just like you
<b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">Bm</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Far more shockin' than anything I ever knew, right on cue
