Intro: C5  A5  E5

                  C5                        A5
Language City is a bad, old place
             E5
We all know
                  C5                  A5
Where eyeballs float in space
              E5
We all know
             A5               E5
We're tired, we can't sleep
             A5               E5
It's crowded here, none of us leave
               C5                           G5           E5
Language City don't mean a thing to me
C5                      G5        A5                     E5
Audiences, the same program is always on
C5            G5     A5                               E5
When I interfere, it's best to avoid the law
                   A5                          E5
When your wife wakes up and sees
A5                         E5
Shut the blinds and block out the street
                 C5                           G5         E5
Language City don't mean a thing to me
G5    
All this working
D5                    E5         C5        E5       C5
Just to tear it down
G5

Eyeballs float in space
            E5

We're tired, we can't sleep

   C5                                A5                     E5
I been here so long my heart is a parking lot
C5                  A5              E5
Hollow feet rooted to the spot
            A5                       E5
But the fields are beyond belief
               A5                E5 
From the tower out to where I can see
                 C5                          G5         E5
