Can't sleep for the radio

Red Christmas lights from Mexico

I would ride a camel

F#sus4  F#7
I will  hitch a ride

Three men walk up to a manger

And hear a baby start to cry
[VERSE 3]

To a life of crime, I was a slave

F#7           Asus2
That infernal constant static

F#sus4             F#7
Turned from layman to fanatic
[CHORUS]
F#7             Asus2
Oh, to bathe in dirty water

F#sus4           F#7
Oh, to find some shade to sleep

Can you spare some ayahuasca

I won't want to go alone
[CHORUS]

I swear I'll come over

         F#sus4        F#7
I'll not miss my final ride

F#7                          Asus
