[Verse 1]
G Em D C
It stabbed me in the chest like the pimp prudent's knife
G Em D C
Into poor wandering Beckett under a mother of pearl sky
At the back of the wall, I bawled, cursing all in reel and rhyme
G Em D C
While feeling out of sorts like a roadsweeper dressed up to the nines
C
As the multicolored kite
C
Over shoulders taking flight
C
And the local matador
C
Gives two fingers to the girl next door
[Chorus]
G Em D C
I had a dream that James Dean was alive and well today
G Em D C
Looking for the quiet life, working for Irish rail
G Em D C Cadd4 C
In my fathers clothes with a blood nose, I sang isn't it so sweet
G Em D C Cadd4 C
By the slot machine there's James Dean out cold beneath my feet
[Bridge]
C
The disciples from the street
C
All burst in through open doors
C
The creaking of the stairs and
C
The running down the stairs
Pure ecstacy
[Verse 2]
G Em D C
The circus master smiles, pointing his finger at the mime
G Em D C
I hear the distant call of a boy named Paul who was taken before his time
G Em D C C
All the precious stones or the mongrels bone won't entice me, silly child
G Em D C
You just run on home for your tea's gone cold I heard your mother cursed you blind
C
As the backdoor man feels wrong
C
For switching off when signing on
C
And the double-jointed thief
C
Wins an award
For pure indecency
[Chorus]
G Em D C
I had a dream that James Dean was alive and well today
G Em D C
Looking for the quiet life, working for Irish rail
G Em D C Cadd4 C
In my fathers clothes with a blood nose, I sang isn't it so sweet
G Em D C Cadd4 C
By the slot machine there's James Dean out cold beneath my feet
[Bridge]
C
The disciples from the street
C
All burst in through open doors
C
The creaking of the stairs and
C
The running down the stairs
Pure ecstacy
