C            Em         F            G
It's already yesterday, we're off the calendar
C           Em          F            G
I heard the sirens play just like an orchestra
C          Em            F             G
Mechanical bird of prey, sing for your emperor
C           Em            F            G
Last broken flash of love still in the camera


[Chorus]
D        F#m                  Bm
We don't feel those locks and chains
         D/A           G                  D/F#
We won't listen to the lizard part of our brains
Em         A
Giving the orders
D       F#m               Bm
Another morning, we'll be gone
            D/A              G
I start the car for Ten Mile Beach
          D/F#   Em         A
And maybe Avalon across the water


[Verse]
C            Em        F            G
It's already yesterday and nobody's answering
C             Em          F        G
Disconnected, drift away, nobody's questioning
C            Em            F         G
Head silver, feet of clay, who is surrendering?
C            Em          F      G
They fall in our heyday, I am remembering


[Chorus]
D        F#m                  Bm
We can't feel those aches and pains
         D/A           G             D/F#
We won't listen to the voices in the city rain
Em         A
Giving the orders
D       F#m             Bm
Another morning I'll be gone
            D/A            G
I start the car for Violet Town
            D/F#     Em       A
And then to Babylon, over the border

D       F#m               Bm
Another morning, we'll be gone
            D/A              G
I start the car for Ten Mile Beach
          D/F#   Em         A
And maybe Avalon across the water
D        F#m                  Bm
We don't feel those locks and chains
         A             G                  D/F#
We won't listen to the lizard part of our brains
Em         A
Giving the orders
