Elevator Boots (Single Edit)

[D]Bobby was a kid [G]from 'round the town
[D]Kicks pumped up [G]and head held down
[D]Underwater more than [G]he was up
[D]He dreamed submarines [G]in bottle green
[D]Imaginary flight machines
[G]But in blue jean flares [D]he bubbled like a 7up
[D]Everybody wants [G]to know you
[D]When you're the [G]only one to know
[G]Shoot it up 'til you feel [D]alive then play one more show
[D]Plug into the buzz and [G]shake it 'til it turns around
[D]And you [G]can't stop feeling
[D]The Paul Smith suits [G]and the elevator boots astound
[D]And you [G]can't help healing
[D]They want you [G]and you want to
[G]With their lips on [D]fire and your head unscrewed
[G]But it's time to whip another [D]change and hit one more town
[G]Bobby doesn't [D]know her name
[G]He holds on [D]tightly just the same
[G]Sometimes one more night [D]is all you need
[G]I met Alice [D]near the Alamo
[G]One summer [D]in San Antonio
[G]I remember her, I don't remember me
[D]Everybody wants [G]to know you
[D]When you're the [G]only one to know
[G]Anything to feel alive [D]and play one more show
[D]Plug into the buzz and [G]shake it 'til it turns around
[D]And you [G]can't stop feeling
[D]The Paul Smith suits [G]and the elevator boots astound
[D]And you [G]can't help healing
[D]They want you [G]and you want to
[D]With their hips on [G]fire and your head unglued
[D]'Til it's time to whip another [G]change and hit one more town
[D]Alice knows [G]the secret
[D]And she could [G]tell you now
[D]If you [G]want to
[D]'Cause they [G]want you
[D]Do you [G]want to?
[D]I snake and [G]sparkle, pant and glide
[D]And it's hard to feel [G]and I can't get high
[D]And I don't always [G]understand how to smile
[D]Man, kids get sick [G]of bein' bottled up
[D]It drags you down [G]'til you throw it up
[D]Gotta get out of the house, [G]take a ride on the radio dial
[D]And everybody wants [G]to know you
[D]When you're the [G]only one to know
[D]Yeah, everything that feels alive [G]is in one more show
[D]Plug into the buzz and [G]shake it 'til it turns around
[D]And you [G]can't stop feeling
[D]The Paul Smith suits [G]and the elevator boots astound
[D]And you [G]can't help healing
[D]They want you [G]and you want to
[D]'Cause the kid's so [G]clean with his soul shampooed
[D]And it's time to whip another [G]change and hit one more town
[D]Oh yeah, it's time to whip [G]another change and hit one more town
[D]And man, it's time to whip [G]another change and hit one more town
