There's a

G                              C 
haze on the skyline to wish me on
    D(IA)        G
 my way

and there's a note on the telephone
           C    D(IA)
some roses on a tray
                   C           D
And the motorway's stretching
Em    D         Em   D
right out to us all
                C
as I pull on my old wings
D   Em    D            Em
         Bb           Am
Isn't it just to damn real?
                       D      Am
                 D     Am
one duck on your wall
G

I'll catch a
ride on your violin strung up on 
your bow
and I'll float on your melody
sing your chorus soft and low
There's a picture-view postcard to 
say that I called
You can see from the fireplace
Isn't it just too damn real?
                 D     Em
One duck on your wall

and I'm probably bound to deceive 
you after all.

Something must be wrong with me and 
my brain
if I'm so painfully unrewarding
But my dreams are for dreaming and 
best left that way
and my zero to your power often 
equals nothing at all.

Double lock defense, there's no 
chain on my door
and I'm available for consultation
But remember your way in is also my 
way out,
and love's four letter word is no 
compensation

Black Ace dog handler I'm a waiter 
on skates
so don't you jump to your foresking 
conclusion
Cause I'm up to my deaf ears in cold
 breakfast trays
to be cleared before I can dine on 
your sweet
Sunday lunch confusion.
