Lyrics

(F5)Stand ing in line to see the (C)show to night and there’s a (A5)light on,

heav y glow.

wait ing for

o ver load.

Steak knife.

Card shark.

Con job.

Boot cut.

(Dm)Skin that flick, she’s such a lit tle B.

J.

Get there quick by street but not by free way.

Turn that trick to make a lit tle lee way.

Beat that meat but not the way that we play.

Dog town.

Blood bath.

Rib cage.

Soft tail.

(F5)Stand ing in line to see (C)the show to night and there’s a (Dm)light on,

heav y glow.

(F)By the way I tried to say I’d be there

wait (Bb)ing for.
