Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Chorus

 From the bells of St Mary

 To the Count of Monte Cristo

Nothing can stop, nothing can stop

 Nothin can stop the sins of Memphisto

Sally used to play with her hula hoops

Now she tells her problems to therapy groups

Grampa's on the front lawn staring at a rake

Wondering if his marriage was a terrible mistake

I'm sitting on the front steps drinking orange crush

Wondering if it's possible if I could still blush

 Uh huh Oh yeah

Boy on a bike with corduroy slacks

leeps in the river by the railroad tracks

He waits for the whistle on the train to scream

So he can close his eyes and begin to dream

 Uh huh Oh yeah

(Repeat Chorus)

The hands on his watch spin slowly around

 With his mind on a bus that goes all over town

Looking at the babies and the factories

Listening to the music of Mister Squeeze

As if by magic or remote control

 He finds a piece of a puzzle that he missed in his soul

 Uh huh Oh yeah

(Repeat Chorus)

Adam and Eve and Lucy and Ricky

Bit the big apple and got a little sticky

Esmeralda and the Hunchback of Notre Dame

They humped each other like they had no shame

They paused as they posed for a Polaroid photo

She whispered in his ear Exactly Odo, Quasimoto

(Repeat Chorus)

Sally used to play with her hula hoops

Now she tells her problems to therapy groups

 Uh huh Oh yeah
