Biography:
Ike Reilly (born Michael Christopher Reilly on 27 December 1963 in Naval Station, Great Lakes) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and writer as well as frontman and founder of the rock band The Ike Reilly Assassination.
If you're looking for glossy pop, this ain't it. Ike and his Assassination reel off "real-rock", tune after tune. Lyrically rough and sharp, but poignant and intellectual. If you like fun, witty, and sometimes coarse (yet still smart) harder alt.

G D Am C
[Verse]
G
There was a sheet metal moon
The night that Jimmy lost his life
C D G
Swimming in the carburetor lines
G
He was last seen kissing
The rings of the pistons
C D G
And drinking with the gears as they grind
[Chorus]
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Plays tricks with my eyes
C
As it burns through the fumes
C
The sheet metal moon shines
G
We'd better take a ride
D
Out to the bridge
C
Where we used to get high
[Verse]
G
The skinny kid said
Jimmy couldn't be dead
C
He just went out to get
D G
Some speed and kill the pain
G
Crossing double lines
And shutting down his headlights
C D G
And passing in the oncoming lanes
[Chorus]
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Plays tricks with my eyes
C
As it burns through the fumes
C
The sheet metal moon shines
G
We'd better take a ride
D
Out to the bridge
C
Where we used to get high
[Bridge]
G D
But there seems to be no sign
Am C
As the timing chain is throwing links
G D
And not keeping time
Am C
As the manifold is gasping as
G D
The rocker arms wave goodbye
Am
From under the bridge
C G D Am C
Where everybody got high
G D Am C
High
[Verse]
G
And the black line you struck
And kid, it's just your luck
C D G
It looks like you crippled your frame
G
The wells won't hold
And the bolts all broke
C
And the shards of glass
D G
Are swimming in your brain
[Chorus]
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Lights up the road
C
As I drive to the tune
C
The sheet metal moon and I
G
Are riding alone
D
Out to the bridge
C
Where we used to get stoned
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Is still playing tricks
C
As I walk through the rooms
C
I drank all the fuel
G
As I breathe in the fumes
D
Out on West Adams Road
C
When I went looking for you
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Plays tricks with my eyes
C
As it burns through the fumes
C
The sheet metal moon shines
G
We'd better take a ride
D
Out to the bridge
C
Where we used to get high
[Bridge]
G D
But there seems to be no sign
Am C
As the timing chain is throwing links
G D
And not keeping time

As the manifold is gasping as

The rocker arms wave goodbye
