 C
Square in the face, Sony spacecraft
 D                     A
Hovering over like a third eye
          D
Why am I hovering over myself
C             A                   C          D A
I'm flipping out in the magazine neighborhood

Its just like everybody said, you would be greased
I should be living, giving my mind
a chance to rewind
And play back beautiful music
I should be living, giving my mind
a chance to rewind
And play back dangerous rhythm

Chorus:
C                        D              A
We almost forgot, every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally, it almost seemed we
Almost forgot, every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally

When we started walking, I was in the 1940s
Simplfy the politics, marvel at the architecture
You were off on camera, gathering the setting sun
The red brick building tops
Finally it almost seemed authentic
As we headed further west
Into the worst, out of the best
Magazine neighborhood
We saw the trees, and public enemies

I should be living, giving my mind
a chance to rewind
And play back beautiful music
I should be living, giving my mind
a chance to rewind
And play back, dangerous rhythm

Chorus:
We almost forgot, every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally it almost seemed we
Almost forgot, every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally it almost seemed we
Moved out of the searchlight
Passed under the moonlight
Move out of the searchlight
Open up and spend the night

We almost forgot every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally it almost seemed we
Almost forogt every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally it almost seemed we
Moved out of the searchlight
Passed under the moonlight
Moved out of the searchlight
Open up and spend the night in Parkdale
