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

F                           Gm
Say what you will for the effort
F                         Gm
You can't fault the technique
F                     Gm
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]
Em7        F        C
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
