Verse 
Em           C 
And the hot hard healer 

G                  C 
Is a sweet street feeler 

D               C 
And a wild wet wheeler 

Em           C 
The pink prince of failures 

G                  C 
Is a spoiled sea sailor 

Em           C 
With terns and wailers

Intro 

Verse 

Like an air-blue eagle 
Sailing through the ceiling 
At the edge of feeling 
On the emerald island 
All the shipwrecked spy him 
And the searchlights shining
