Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
                                 E7
Hes gonna check us all on out of here

Up to that mansion on a hill
                                       E7
Where you can get your prescription filled

A red cape and shiny cold 45

Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings

B7                                           E7
Well I stepped out of a mirror at ten years old
                             A7
With a suit cut sharp, as a razor and a heart of gold

I had a guitar hanging just about waist high

I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die
