(E A B)     E 
Oh yeah! 
       A                B             E 
I hear you talking when I'm on the street, 
        A               B                 E  
Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.  
A 
What's the matter with the boy?  
He don't come around no more, 
B  
Is he checking out for sure?  
                              A  E 
Is he gonna close the door on me?  
      A              B              E 
I'm always hearing voices on the street, 
       A               B              E  
I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak. 
A  
I was making love last night  
To a dancer friend of mine.  
B 
I can't seem to stay in step, 
                                                    A    E  
'Cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me.  
B 
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,  
                                       A     E 
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.  
      A                    B                 E 
I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed. , 
         A               B                E 
Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed.  
A 
Heading for the overload,  
Splattered on the dirty road, 
B  
Kick me like you've kicked before, 
                                A   E  
I can't even feel the pain no more.  
B 
But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming, (only get them off) 
                                       A     E A 
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.  
A#m                F#                   C#m 
Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene. 
A#m                F#              C#m   B 
Its all mesmerized all that inside me.  
        A                  B             E 
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.  
     A               B         E 
Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.  
A 
Headed for the overload,  
Splattered on the dirty road, 
B  
Kick me like you've kicked before, 
                               A    E  
I can't even feel the pain no more.  
B 
But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (only get them off, get them off), 
                                    A      E 
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping
