[Verse 1]
D Bm A G
It stabbed me in the chest like the pimp prudent's knife
D Bm A G
Into poor wandering Beckett under a mother of pearl sky
At the back of the wall, I bawled, cursing all in reel and rhyme
D Bm A G
While feeling out of sorts like a roadsweeper dressed up to the nines
G
As the multicolored kite
G
Over shoulders taking flight
G
And the local matador
G
Gives two fingers to the girl next door
[Chorus]
D Bm A G
I had a dream that James Dean was alive and well today
D Bm A G
Looking for the quiet life, working for Irish rail
D Bm A G Gadd4 C
In my fathers clothes with a blood nose, I sang isn't it so sweet
D Bm A G Gadd4 C
By the slot machine there's James Dean out cold beneath my feet
[Bridge]
G
The disciples from the street
G
All burst in through open doors
G
The creaking of the stairs and
G
The running down the stairs
Pure ecstacy
[Verse 2]
D Bm A G
The circus master smiles, pointing his finger at the mime
D Bm A G
I hear the distant call of a boy named Paul who was taken before his time
D Bm A G G
All the precious stones or the mongrels bone won't entice me, silly child
D Bm A G
You just run on home for your tea's gone cold I heard your mother cursed you blind
G
As the backdoor man feels wrong
G
For switching off when signing on
G
And the double-jointed thief
G
Wins an award
For pure indecency
[Chorus]
D Bm A G
I had a dream that James Dean was alive and well today
D Bm A G
Looking for the quiet life, working for Irish rail
D Bm A G Gadd4 C
In my fathers clothes with a blood nose, I sang isn't it so sweet
D Bm A G Gadd4 C
By the slot machine there's James Dean out cold beneath my feet
[Bridge]
G
The disciples from the street
G
All burst in through open doors
G
The creaking of the stairs and
G
The running down the stairs
Pure ecstacy
