The angels are lost in the city of stars
G          C              G             C
the wise men are down on their knees.
G          C              G             C
And the fruitman of freeway will sell you his cars
G          C              G             C
when he's sure that you can't find the keys.

    Am           D           G
And the ladies on Magdalene lane 
    Am                   D              G
all worship the sun and the sand.
   Am                   D              G

She died as she walked down the aisle

Over the rainbow a Kansas tornado
C           D           G
can twist up a little girl´s head.

The prophet has come to this kingdom of lights
G           C            G            C
but there's no one to listen or learn.
G           C            G            C
And the savior performs for the prophet's delight
G           C            G            C
while dissenters are banished or burned.

Am              D          G
And the heretics beg to be heard
Am              D           G
but the savior's on tour for the week.
Am              D          G
Salvation is found in his word

A piece of your heart will do for a start
G           D              G

and only the motel man knows my name
