[F#] [C#] [E] [B] x2
[VERSE 1]
[E]November promises it seems,
[E]Broken February dreams
[E]That don’t come true,
[E]But do you remember me?
[E]I don’[E]t rememb[F]er you [G]
[E]Were you[D#] the one[C#] who lik[B]ed to sing? [A]
[A]Or just some other one, it’s strange
[E]How hate[D#] remains[C#] she sta[B]ys the same [A]
[A]And we’re always changing
[CHORUS 1]
[F#]We are driving on the ceili[C#]ng,
There are al[E]iens on mo[B]torcycles,
[F#]Riding in the radio [C#]
While we des[E]troy the world [B]
I said, Oh [F#]oh oh no no, [C#]
And the news it[E] read the future’s dead, [B]
When Elvis w[F#]ent to Hollywood, [C#]
[E]That’s whe[B]n…. [STOP]
No chords
Everything went wrong
[F#] [C#] [E] [B] x2
[VERSE 2]
[E]So long goodbye,
[E]The taste of wedding cakes,
[E]The sound of nursery rhymes,
[E]The ghost of Fredericksburg,
[E]Of Alex Chilton,
[E]Of Victor Frankenstein,
[E]The girl[D#] you alw[C#]ays love[B]d,
The one[A] you have no memory of,
[E]It’s s[D#]trange h[C#]ow hate [B]remains,
She prayed for rain on [A]the invasion
[CHORUS 2]
[F#]We are driving on the ceili[C#]ng,
There are al[E]iens on mo[B]torcycles,
[F#]Hiding in the radio [C#]
While we dev[E]our the world [B]
I said, Oh [F#]oh oh no no, [C#]
And the future [E]said the news is dead [B]

[F#] [C#] [E] [B] x2
[VERSE 3]
The god of man procl[E]aimed, [B]
The las[A]t evacuation of a dream.
The gosp[E]el screamed
A song of movie sta[A]rs
And girlie magazines [E]
[E]The spac[D#]eman too[C#] [B]
From somewhere far[A] away
You have to say it’s strange
[E]We wait [D#]in vain,[C#] [B]
The rocket’s came and[A] now we’re fading
[CHORUS 3]
[F#]We are hiding on the ceilin[C#]g,
There are al[E]iens on mo[B]torcycles,
[F#]Riding from the radio [C#]
While they d[E]estroy the world [B]
I said, Oh [F#]oh oh no no, [C#]
And the paper??[E] ?s said the king is dead [B]
When Elvis w[F#]ent to Hollywood, [C#]
[E]That’s whe[B]n…. [STOP]
