Sunspot Stopwatch (P. Droge)
Intro: ||: E B-C#m B-A C#m-B :||
Verse With your sunspot stopwatch renegade savior stances
1: B A
You'll say to take your chances
Or else you'll break your branches as you climb
To that top shelf tuna melt buckle up your seatbelt Ricki Lee Jones
And everything that you think you own
Is fool's gold and ancient fossil stones
(intro melody)
Verse You got more than you need but you need a lot more than some do
2: B A
Look at your cigarette burn through
The things you can't un-do if you try
Well that's tough luck King Tutt, Daffy Duck
Never got old babe
They'll bury you with gold, yea
Is that enough to hold you for today?
Bridge: And I got to hand it to you
Why do you do what you do?
It's times like this I'm glad that I ain't you
You think you got the devil on retreat
But he's back up on his feet and he's lookin' for you
(intro melody)
Verse With your monkey wrench you'll dig a trench
3: B C#m
And don't ya see the lights they're shinin'
Shut up 'n' quit yer whinin'
Four star restaurant's dinin' in the shade
Well then your miniskirt'll hit the dirt
And baby you'll be cryin' 'n' bleedin'
You'll bite the hand that's feedin'
And then you're back there pleadin' for your soul
(bridge)
(intro melody)
