[Verse 1]
C C/B A E+/A
You gonna look fine, be primed for dancin'
C Em G G
You gonna trip 'n' glide all on the tremb-e-lin' plane

Your diamond hands will be stacked with roses

And wind and cars and people of the past
[Verse 2]
C C/B A E+/A
I'll call you thing, just when the moon sings

And place your face in stone upon a hill of stars

We'll dance our lives away in the ballrooms of Mars

You talk about day, I'm talkin' 'bout night time

When monsters call out the names of men

There are things in night that are better not to behold

Yooooouuu dance, with your lizard leather boots on

And pull the strings that change the faces of men

You diamond browed hag, you're a gutter-gaunt gangster

John Lennon knows your name and I've seen his
