Graham Parker – Stupefaction lyrics

Another one I find easier to play with
capo at 2. Chords mapped out as if they were open.

Intro A D A D A D F# (twice)

A D A D
The sun is burning it never changes
A D A D
The people look up with nothing in their eyeballs
A D A D
They stare at billboards as if for guidance
A D A D
There's something wrong here I can't but my finger on

E A D A
Same thing same way everyday stupefaction oh yeah

A D A D
Drive out on sunset but nothing's moving
A D A D
The lights are green or is that my imagination
A D A D
The people sit there cameras without action
A D A D
I can't see the point but I see the attraction

E A D A
Same thing same way everyday stupefaction oh yeah

We're going to get clear outa this some day
F#m Bm E A

A D A
Stupefaction oh yeah

A D A D
I ask the landlord how much you making
A D A D
Don't you get tired of just taking and taking

Giving us those dirty looks and tryin to murder cupid

E A D A
Same thing same way everyday stupefaction ah yeah
