 A#m
Slow
                        D#m
I'm gonna settle down slow
             G#
Down to the home of
                    D#m
Electric life and soul

Faith
In my hand to trade
But for the word and
The light of a bitter saint

Chorus:
     F#                    G# A#m
     And you can get me work
     But I can't work for free
                 G#
     I've got a room downtown
                           F#
      With a bed and a big TV
G# F#                       G# A#m
      If you can raise a star
      From garbage on the street
                          G#
      Then you can make a modern life
                            F#
      For a modern girl to lead

Alone
I feel alone
When I'm living in a building
Like a tooth in heaven's throat
True

It's a beautiful view
But you know they're gonna set it on fire
When they feel like something new

Chorus

But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel
A pill to break the drone of reverie

So bring me to the hand of fate
The river or a new arcade
So I can wash the empty hour away

But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel
So bring me to the hand of fate
The river on a new arcade

Chorus

Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV - x6
