Standard (EADGBE)

The King of Araby is coming home today

It's bumper touching bumper on the motorway

 The sun is in the sky just now

 But the road is grey

They drive in Winnebagos from the Everglades

Pulled over by the troopers in the mirror shades

 The Caravan is sorry

The driver has a twenty and change

 And we're leaving all the road for dead

 We're getting tired of the twists and turns

 You gotta go when human nature calls

 We're driving, we're driving

 Through the valley of malls

And God forgive the passengers if we should fail

To find a penny fountain of a half-off sale

 I need a merchant

I've just started searching for a Holy Grail

Fighting for the freedom from a common bond

To be a barracuda in the guppy pond

So little time for so many things to try on

Instrumental verse same chords

 And we're leaving all the road for dead

 We're getting tired of the twists and turns

 You gotta go when human nature calls

 We're driving, we're driving

 Through the valley of malls

 Through the valley of malls ......
