[Intro] F# A D F# A D [Verse 1]
    F#     
My miss phonia brought the faders up, now

       A                    D
she's a military grade in Dolby surround

       F#
around 5.1, Cue the barking from the baritone

A                            D
conductor in the pit for the car honk duet

F#
Half-tone harmony from the sewer

A                      D
Rebel youth choir belt phrases even newer

F#
Dump truck man drops the beat with trash cans, 

A                D
call 911! We got therapy demands.

F#
Philharmonic got a first chair car crash

A                   D
Pan the falsetto to smash the glass

       F# 
It's a drive-by lullaby that couldn't get worse

  A                       D
A melody abandoned in the key of New York
[Chorus 1]
      Dbm                         D     
Where nothing comes after, I'm a pass-time streamer, hanging from the rafters

  B                              Dbm              D              F#
I don't get out, I don't have fun, Livin' like a captive of the sun
[Verse 2]
F#
So I gotta put my shades on

F#
Riding through the city as I gets my escalade on

F#
Flipping down the streets that my reputation was made on

F#
King of the city, the mayor finna put a parade on

F#
Drop the confetti from off the rooftop

                    A                      D
Well I come down candy and let my roof drop

                   F#
I got a baddie shotgun in a tube top

                        A                    D
With some Daisy Dukes on and some tube socks, listening to Tupac

F#
You ain't know I do rock records, I do it all

A                                  D
I got my hands in some cookie jars, you ain't knew at all

F#
I took a chance and threw caution up in the wind

A                          D
Cuz I got nothing to lose but got something to win
[Chorus 2]
Dbm 
We throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks

D
It's gon' end up being a bomb or being the shit

B                              
They said the fix was in, guess we'll know when it's done

Dbm                      D                F#
Until then we'll just be captives of the sun
F# [Verse 3]
  F#                  
I sightread the chart, clap the rocks into sand

  A                 D
A 12-pass van on a pot-hold bandstand

       F#
got an oil-can hangover by default 

    A                           D
and trucks pave the roads with amphetamine salt.

 F#
Skull shakin' cadence of the J train rolls

 A                 D
Rhythm of defeat, repeating like a pulse

F#
Marching on and static, lyrics shout a retort

       A                       D
to the melody abandoned in the key of New York
[Chorus 1]
      Dbm                         D     
Where nothing comes after. I'm a pass-time streamer, hanging from the rafters.

  B                              Dbm               D              F#
I don't get out. I don't have fun. Living like a captive of the sun.
F#
