Fly On a Windshield

(intro) Em G

    G           Em
There's something solid forming in 
the air,
         G                         
And the wall of death is lowered in
           Em
 Times Square.
C       Em
No-one seems to care,
      Am                       
They carry on as if nothing was 
    Em
there.

B/G                    G5
The wind is blowing harder now,
          Gadd9         Em
Blowing dust into my eyes.
     B/G                  G5
The dust settles on my skin,
          Gadd9           Em
Making a crust I cannot move in

And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting
 for the windshield on the freeway.

F                             F+
Echoes of the Broadway Everglades,
          Bbm           Db     
With her mythical madonnas still 
       F
walking in their shades:
F                                 
Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and 
   F+
plays his other hand.
Bbm                          Db  
Marshall Mcluhan, casual viewin',
            F
 head buried in the sand.
F              F7                 
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, 
 Bbm    Db                Eb
but there's no ship sailing.
F                   F7           
Groucho, with his movies 
      Bm                      Eb
trailing, stands alone with his 
punchline
Db     F
failing.

(as above except for last line)
Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food 
and the band plays 'In the Mood'
The cheerleader waves her cyanide 
wand, there's a smell of
                      peach blossom 
and bitter almonde.
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and 
leads the parade, he knows
                     in a scent, you
 can bottle all you made.
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede 
shoes, smiling at the
               majorettes smoking 
Winston Cigarettes.
And as the song and dance begins, 
the children play at home
                Bb     C    
                with needles; 
    D
needles and pins.
