[Verse 1]
F Gm
Incoherent but functional
F Gm
Speeding like a dead comet
F Gm
Purple crushed velvet waistcoat
Dm G A
Flecked with Maalox and bits of dried vomit

Say what you will for the effort

You can't fault the technique

Still conscious at sunrise
Dm G A
For the third time this week
[Pre-Chorus]
A Dm C G
But when the blue lights flash
C Dm G
I know we're going to crash
[Hook]
C F
And outside it's ninety-two degrees
C F C
And KROQ is playing Siouxsie and the Banshees
[Verse 2]
F Gm
Blaupunkt in the dashboard
F Gm
Cracks in the cylinder block
F Gm
Heading up the Golden State freeway
Dm G A
Toward Eagle Rock
F Gm
Ice chest full of Corona
F Gm
And Pineapple Crush
F Gm
It'll take twenty years
Dm G A
For the toxins to flush
[Pre-Chorus]
A Dm C G
And when the si - rens wail
C Dm G
I know we're going to jail
[Hook]
C F
And outside it's ninety-two degrees
C F C
And KROQ is playing Siouxsie and the Banshees
[Verse 3]

Follow the flame to freedom
Bdim Am F
The flickering lights of armageddon
Dm6 E7 Am
Find the foot of the land way down in the pit
Ddim7 G#
Keep climbing forever
C# D#
Trying to keep the torch lit
[Hook]
G# C#
And outside it's ninety two degrees
G# C#
And KROQ ("The Roq of the Eighties") is playing Siouxsie and the Banshees
