D
Janey
F              G
You are my Victorian machinery
(Breathe yourself to life)
Lady
Your tender shape is bending like the scenery
(Ride you like a bike)

Chorus:
F                        C
You be the sail and baby I'll be the rudder
          Dm                       Dm/C
We could make it all day until it turns into butter
   Dm/B A#  Dm
I saw  your face
A seminal pleasure, I will love you forever
When I heeded your call and every heavy endeavor
I'll keep your place

Janey
Coming down the mountain like a buffalo
(Seeds deep in your eyes)
Crazy
But then again, a girl could like it rough you know
(Makes up for her size)

Chorus

 F  C   Dm Dm/C
Be yourself
       Dm/B A# Dm
When I saw    you
You be the shack
And baby I'll be the desert
There is nothing to lack
When there is nothing to measure
It's all, all space
Woah!

You are my Victorian machinery
(Nah nah nah nah nah) woo!
Janey
Make a fist and knock me off the moon again
(Breathe yourself to life)

Lady
Make me feel like I was born in June again
(Ride me like a bike)
Crazy
Sing along just like they do in Budapest
(Hot moon on the rise)

You be the shack
And baby I'll be the desert
There is nothing to lack
When there is nothing to measure
It's all our space
