Standing on the edge of someone’s shadow
A F#m D E
I put my hands above my head

Teenage alien blues (take the high road)
Oh, no, no

Can’t stand the truth

I threw my mind out in the garbage yesterday
A F#m D E
Whether I’m on drugs or not, I’m brain dead, either way
D E
So what do I do? (take the high road)
D E
See you making out (take the high road)
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
D E F#m
Can’t stand the high road, baby
D E F#m
If you want some of my love, darlin’

You can walk to my house, babe

I will stand up for my rights

From Jesus Jones and all his parasites
G# F# G# D
They’re doing testings on mice
G# F# G# D
In a psychedelic chromosome device

I will stand up in my mind
G# F# B C#
And tear your heart right down

And tear your heart right down
G# F# G# D

And recognize the future is now

Oh, but it gets so hard
A G#m F#m
With both feet on the ground

I could make you my own
A G#m F#m
But now you’re down

And make you my own
A G#m B
But now you’re down

Now I’ve got a sweetie
A
Who knows just how to treat me
E A
But everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout haircuts
E A
No, no, everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout Jesus Jones
