You know Norm de Palma?

A local grocery clerk
Am

Town...

[Verse 2]
Dm
You've got to be a self-righteous man or a clown
        C
With an ordeal that you'll be a bigger
Am
Man in a bigger
G
Town...

[Chorus]
          Dm                          C
There are few people in this town who believe
           Am                 G
that these roads can take you somewhere
          Dm                                      C
There are few ladies who believe in the clown and achieve
         Am                     G
The same goal which is the ever present

[Pre-Chorus]
        Bb
A-haa-a-hoew - The roads promise everything
        Am
A-haa-a-hoew - But the elderly say
        Bb
A-haa-a-hoew - The only thing they do
        Am
A-haa-a-hoew - Is steal away your fuel

[Chorus]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
        Bb
A-haa-a-hoew - Her infrastructure
        Am
A-haa-a-hoew - Designed by the devil
        Bb
A-haa-a-hoew - Boy if you touch her
        Am                                                  Dm
A-haa-a-hoew - You'll be living on a level of safe and sexy solitude

[Verse 2]
           Dm
This is my moment
           C
This is my joy
        Am
But the angels spread out their wings
                G
Mother Earth is pregnant

[Chorus 2x]
          Dm                          C
There are few people in this town who believe
           Am                 G
that these roads can take you somewhere

Take you somewhere
         Am
Take you somewhere
  Bb    Am      Bb
Take you somewhere
         Am
Take you somewhere

Back to the ever present

Back to the ever present
