Intro G Am D Am x2 Verse 1GHe's only Amsix years old, Dthat old Killer Gdied. GPut him down in a Amgreat big hole, DI'm filling up all the Gtime. GSee the buildings Amrise up to the sky, DParking meters, traffic Gcops. GYou'd best watch your Amrecord son, Dthey'll come an' lock yGou up.ChorusGI've been working Dall night. CI go along into the Gday. GAin't got much Dmoney now. CGot the time ahead, Am7I got the time ahead to GpaySmoke and lightning, dressed to kill. Don't talk to strangers, that's all you know. Forty years of Sun death, the daylights still not over yet. You should live to see evening fall, doctors working overtime. Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building blocks. Repeat chorus The above is the "Hollywood Town Hall" version, on "Blue Earth" the second verse is slightly different, some of the lyrics are difficult to make out but I think it is the following :- Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill. Don't talk to strangers, girl take the pill Forty years of Sun death, acid rain is falling on my head. Bush raids on the rise, doctors working overtime. Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building blocks.
