Am                      F 
The cats are all crazy, Mona Lisa 
Am               F 
They try to say my future is stone 
Am               F 
They say they make all the right calls 
             C                          G 
To all the right numbers that the fat cats know

But these wheels were made for burning 
Am                       F 
And these wings weren't meant to last

In the end it's all fireworks and smoke rings

I just want to sing motown, soul

And buy my baby something nice to take home

And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe 
C               G 
I just wanna dance...

After all it's just a crazy dream baby

All these good cards burn up in a flash 
Am                        F 
My, my it's getting late Cinderella

We almost died at them gates 
Am                                       F 
Thank the good Lord for sending his angels...  
C                              G 
In a '49 Mercury for a lightning fast getaways
