Standard (EADGBE)

Gotta get out of TV

 Just pick a point and go

The ticker-tape tangles my feet

 As I search for a face that I know

 Come on, tower crane driver

 There's not so far to go

Interlude

I must have been working the ropes

 When your hand slipped from mine

Now I live off the mirrors and smoke

 It's a joke, a fix, a lie

 Come on, tower crane driver

Oh so far to fall

Send up a prayer in my na - ame

 Just the same

 They say I'm on top of my ga - ame

Dwindle gentle rose

Send up a prayer in my name
