INTRO: Bb D# (4x)
Bb D# Bb D#
I stepped out the front door into winter and the world outside
D# Bb D#
I stepped out the door to New York City, my hair was barely dry
D C Bb D# Bb D#
I could not remember where I was going, so I went back inside
Bb D# Bb D#
Nothing happening in the elevator, nothing happening on the stairs
D# Bb D# Bb D#
Nothing ever happen when I am sleeping, I cannot stay there
D D#
How'd you find a party when you're in your room
C Bb D# Bb D#
How'd you find the action man, the action is everywhere
Bb D# Bb D#
If you decide to climb outside your bedroom window, paint a picture on a cloud
D#
Oh if you decide that you can't hide inside your mind
Bb D#
Provide the slide to get you out
D D#
Feels just like you're falling and you're going down
C D#
But everybody loves you when you hit the ground
Bb D# x4
Bb D#
I say a prayer, I say a prayer, I say a prayer to Pocahontas
Bb D#
I pray to John Appleseed
D# Bb D# Bb D#
Oh I cigarette the winter air, then I Fred Astaire my way down seventh street
D C D# Bb D# Bb D#
Some chick yells Jesus love me more than I know but less than I need
Bb D# Bb D#
I parade down the valley to the battery and then I step off into the air
D# Bb D#
Point my sunglasses east towards Jerusalem and then follow all the Pharaohs there
D D#
They're building pyramids in Leicester Square
C Bb D# Bb D#
Driving in circles round the circus 'til the circles in the air
Bb D# Bb D#
My love says come on Adam tell me what the hell is wrong with you
D# Bb D# Bb D#
She says, come on Adam tell me, what the hell am I supposed to do?
D C D#
She says, I could love you, I could leave you, I can't live what you put me through
Bb D# x 4
Bb D# Bb D# Bb D#
I call the wind Maria because I do not know her face
D# Bb D# Bb D#
I call the endless sky Emilia because she stays with me from place to place
C Bb Bb D# Bb D#
I call the sun my love Emmanuel because she cradle me in her embrace
Bb D# Bb D#
Oh no, nothing happening in the kitchen, nothing happening on the floor
D# Bb D# Bb D#
Nothing happening in my bed, she don't sleep there no more
D D#
How?d you find the bottom when you're in the air?
C C STOP
Hey man, how?d you find a circus man, the circus is everywhere
Bb D# x 8
