D                                          D2
Was there in your cage when your lion got tamed
Bm                                   Bm2
up on the stage when your childhood flamed
G                                  D
silent with rage but in ain't no game to me now

A                  G
All the lights of London shining now
D                 Bm      Bm2
Slow you down and stay awhile
A                  Bb     C      D
All the lights of London shining now

D                                    D2
Standing in line with these abstract gifts
Bm                                  Bm2
counting the time as the dragnet shifts
G                                         D         D2
quarter to nine and the gray cloud lifts away now whooooo

D                                          D2
Hearing you sing with your perspex tongue
Bm                                    Bm2
walking the wing where the dreams get flung
G                                              D         D2
it's never your thing when it all goes wrong to worry whoohoh

(musical interlude) Bb C F G Bb C

D                                      D2
telling a lie 'cause the truth just stinks
Bm                                 Bm2
out in the mud where the lightning sinks
G                                             D       D2
wishing you could as the strip light blinks away now whoohoho

Bb C D
all of London falling now
Bb C D D2 D
of London falling now
