We don't need no reason why

Bleeding from my restless eye

To kiss you in the mornin'

Know what I have deep inside

It's time to break free

From the mouse trap when it's storming

Up, up the lover, we got the mother

Up, up the fauna, we got Nirvana

All I know is I feel fine

Touch up the Raiders, they don't mind
    Dm                C
Up, up the fauna, we got Madonna

All I know is I feel fine

Hit me with that lion's prize
 Gm                        F                   C
Ten thousand heavens are about to shed their glory
  Dm
Shine, shine, let 'em shine
 Am
Hit me with that Guggenheim
Gm                            F               C
I'ma tell you everything and how to build a story

  Dm               Am
Trust in love, my man
 Gm                             F                C
You can feel it raining down so early when it's forming
  Dm
Slide, slide, let it slide
 Am
My street is preoccupied
Gm
I'd like to kiss her face
   F             C
If I could only find her
