Cm Gm A#
Get straight and wait here while I try to find the exit sign
Cm Gm D
When will you stop asking strangers, no one wants what we want
D# Gm D#
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bag
D
Never expect to be sure
D# Gm
You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
A# D#
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
D# Gm
A doctor, A writer, A hairdresser,
A# D#
Felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train

Lord lord mother you're all losing love
A# D#
Lord listen lover you're all missing mama
A# Gm
Lord lord mother you're all losing love
A# D#
Lord listen lover you're all missing something (I don't got)
There's a place that ends here I know
When they close the gates I'll cry
So tired of never sleeping
The whole world wants what we're on
Didn't make this up I learned, I learned it from a friend
My friend is coming clean, she told me
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bed
Never expect to be sure who you're working for
You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
a doctor, a writer, a garbage collector
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
Lord lord mother you're all losing love
Lord listen lover you're all missing mama
Lord lord mother you're all losing love
Lord listen lover you're all missing love
Got to get out
Got to get to you, the orphanage is closing in an hour
Get straight and wait here while I try to find the exit sign
