      E                F#
Some say the state of Texas
                              E
Could accommodate the entire human population
F#                      E               F#
Five point six billion versions of the truth
                          E
Under one roof, some revelation

Tale a bit of this, give a bit of that
Put it in a blender, pull it out a hat
There's no going back
It's a lie, it's a fact

Has the cat got your tongue
Been too long in the sun
There's dust on your tracks
There's no going back

Chorus:
E
Come to think of it's a load of monkeys
Every time you listen to your sun
      A B
kissed lover's words
E
Evil Louie is tomorrow's sadness
                                 D   B
It's a game of madness in a perfect world

Some would say French cuisine's more appealing
Than a cold drink, burgers and fries
Some have said that a pillar of society
An upright citizen's incapable of lust and crime

Tale a bit of this, give a bit of that
Put it in a blender, pull it out a hat
But he don't stand a change
With his pants around his ankles

Has the cat got your tongue
Been too long in the sun
There's dust on your tracks
There's no going back

Chorus - x3
