G       Dm
Albert he goes west
 C                               G             Dm C Am
he crossed the vast indifferent deserts of Arizona
G           Dm                  C
He had a psychotic episode on a dude ranch
                         G    Dm    C   Am
that involved a bottle of ammonia

Henry, he went south and lost his way
Deep in the weeping forests of Le Vulva
He grew so wan, he grew so sick
He ended up in a bungalow sucking a revolver

     Dm
The light upon your rainy streets
C
Offers many reflections
I won't be held responsible
For my actions

Bobby, he goes north, then he goes east
Then over to New Hampshire
Bobby is a cautious man
He walked into a Concord dive to drink a beer

Dm
Mhm Do you wanna dance?
C
Yeah do you wanna move?
Dm
Yeah do you wanna dance?
C
Do you wanna groove?
Dm                          C
I said this world is full of endless abstractions
Dm                        C
I wont be held responsible for my actions

Me, I ain't going anywhere
Just sit and watch the sun come up, I like it here
Oh yeah, I watch the people go ticking past
Go hey hey hey, you know I gotta say I like it here
