[Verse 1]
B G#m F# E
It stabbed me in the chest like the pimp prudent's knife
B G#m F# E
Into poor wandering Beckett under a mother of pearl sky
At the back of the wall, I bawled, cursing all in reel and rhyme
B G#m F# E
While feeling out of sorts like a roadsweeper dressed up to the nines
E
As the multicolored kite
E
Over shoulders taking flight
E
And the local matador
E
Gives two fingers to the girl next door
[Chorus]
B G#m F# E
I had a dream that James Dean was alive and well today
B G#m F# E
Looking for the quiet life, working for Irish rail
B G#m F# E Eadd4 C
In my fathers clothes with a blood nose, I sang isn't it so sweet
B G#m F# E Eadd4 C
By the slot machine there's James Dean out cold beneath my feet
[Bridge]
E
The disciples from the street
E
All burst in through open doors
E
The creaking of the stairs and
E
The running down the stairs
Pure ecstacy
[Verse 2]
B G#m F# E
The circus master smiles, pointing his finger at the mime
B G#m F# E
I hear the distant call of a boy named Paul who was taken before his time
B G#m F# E E
All the precious stones or the mongrels bone won't entice me, silly child
B G#m F# E
You just run on home for your tea's gone cold I heard your mother cursed you blind
E
As the backdoor man feels wrong
E
For switching off when signing on
E
And the double-jointed thief
E
Wins an award
For pure indecency
[Chorus]
B G#m F# E
I had a dream that James Dean was alive and well today
B G#m F# E
Looking for the quiet life, working for Irish rail
B G#m F# E Eadd4 C
In my fathers clothes with a blood nose, I sang isn't it so sweet
B G#m F# E Eadd4 C
By the slot machine there's James Dean out cold beneath my feet
[Bridge]
E
The disciples from the street
E
All burst in through open doors
E
The creaking of the stairs and
E
The running down the stairs
Pure ecstacy
