(Intro) <first 3 bars only> (1:16-)
[Verse 2] (1:20-)
Every morning I'm out at dawn with the dwarfs and the tramp
For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps
Everyone I meet out on the street acts as if I wasn't there
But they're all going to know who I am 'cos I can go out on the air
(Chorus) (1:51-)
Bridge: (2:02-)

Leaving the car down leafy lane Turning out Tarzan for my Jungle Jane
|F# | |
anyone at all, from Captain Zero and his brand of superhero, standing by a call
|D |A | Oh it's not easy, no no no |D |A |Esus4/B | || No, no it's not easy making real friends
(Intro) (2:27-)
[Verse 3] (2:46-)
Don't you give me your steak-reared milkboys, milkboys
Half alive on empty white noise, white noise
I got power, I'm proud to be loud; my signal goes out clear,
I want everybody to know that Mozo is here
(Chorus) (3:16-)
Coda: (3:27-) <synth riff & bass solo>
