[Verse]
F G I thought I saw my god, through frays of total blood, F G at some Hampton Beach club. And half-convinced he had F the things I thought he did... G Hey, Ritchie, it's your dad. F G I've gone so far away now, kid. From coast to coast and far beyond. F G The waves rose up like gasps out on the astral sea, F G starships shifting in the crud... Don't believe that stuff on your TV. C No, I've got to leave. I can't come back.
C D C Em
[Chorus]
F G Lido Pier suicide car. F G Lido Pier suicide car. F G Lido Pier suicide car. C Em F It's a straight shot drive to a life full of stars.
[Verse]
F G At first it seemed a little speck, and then it seemed a little mist. F G We took our drinks out to the deck. We watched that silver ladder twist. F G We flew over the hills, the harbor bar. Over the wakeward-flashing spray. F G We watched it shrink, that Jag, that Jaguar. We watched our old friends fall away.
[Chorus]
F G My heart, oh, feel it pounding F G to watch our little town receding. F G C They're not knowing why or how we're leaving, only believing
C D C Em
F G in a Lido Pier suicide car. F G Lido Pier suicide car. F G Lido Pier suicide car. F G Lido Pier suicide, suicide. F G Lido Pier suicide car.
[Bridge]
F C F C He's a ramrod handshake stud. He's a steward of a land F C F C hand-washed in hero's blood. He's a lodger of demands. F C F C He's the hassler of the gassed-up graspers trying to make their grands. F C F C When he catches me in freezing seas, he'll lead me into land. F C F C He says he's gonna break my band. I just have to take that hand. G Oh, crocodile!
[Chorus]
F G And can you hear the shouting, F G out there beyond the boundary? F G Some distant voice is sounding, and what is it saying? F G Something about a Lido Pier suicide car. F G Lido Pier suicide car. F G C Lido Pier suicide suicide car.
