[Verse 1]
       A                      A7
So you had the best legs in a business built for kicks,

             Bm                            F#
But was this changing of the guards really supposed to make you sick?

       D    E            E           E
It's alright... The Sublimation Hour!

A                    A7
Medium Rotation, the Shock of the New,

      B#                         F#
And a memo from Feldman saying, "Everything is true."

       D     E           D           E
It's alright... The Sublimation Hour!
[Chorus]
      A          B    D         B
Don't spend your life conceiving

         A      B                       D       B
That the widows won't get sick of their grieving

     D              E
'Til everyone walks out

           D                              E
Hey, isn't that what rock 'n' roll is all about, Princess?

  D                        E
Express your bloated self, willful and indignant

       Bm                 Dm
In the face of somebody's lord!

[Verse 2]
           A                     A7
You try to summon up the spirits live on Face the Nation,

Bm                          F#
But the port authority just taxed incantations.

       D     E      D              E
It's alright... The Sublimate Hour!

A                            A7
Auction off The Temple, it's money well-spent.

               Bm                        F#
Hey, are those tears in your eyes as the wind cries, "enlargement"?

       D     E      D              E
It's alright... The Sublimate Hour!
[Chorus]
      A          B    D         B
Don't spend your life conceiving

         A      B                       D       B
That the widows won't get sick of their grieving

     D              E
'Til everyone walks out

           D                              E
Hey, isn't that what rock 'n' roll is all about, Princess?

  D                        E

[Verse]
   A                          A7
So put your hands together, I hear it's a must

           Bm                     F#
Until this phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust.

       D     E      D                E
It's alright... The Sublimation Hour!

            A                         A7
I guess the streets will suffice 'til everybody makes nice,

              Bm                      F#
But there's a rumor going 'round even Destroyers have a price...
D E D E
       D     E       D               E
It's alright... The Sublimation Hour!
