Its a sad day when it comes to this
but a free man is a happier man
walk home and reminisce
you were the highlight of the party
my head feels like a lead balloon
I've got little to no memory
I blame myself and so do you
in the wee hours of the morning
etc.....
its a start anyways,
Its a sad day when it comes to this
But a free man is a happier man
Walk home and reminisce
You were the highlight of the party
Wow wow wow wow
My head feels like a lead balloon
I've got little to no memory
I blame myself and so do you in the wee hours of the morning
Stuck in traffic
Lost in Memories
Of when we were naked and in love
Take no prisoners
Leave no traces
One day we'll be laughing loudly
Aah
Mad man with a nervous twitch you'll find love in a cemetery
Young girl enormous soul with a heart full of her family
Stumbled on something gold using IQ as a metaphor
Dab hand at a million things
But you know what you're good for
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know what I'm looking for
I know what I'm looking for

Obviously it helps if you have a looper pedal and a fuzz factory (for the theremin part!)
If you have a looper, start recording your break loop when you go down the the 1st fret
on the D string. just makes it sound better if you stop/start at all. You can bring it
back in with just the guitar from the beginning of the break riff, then throw in the
bass to make your head explode :D
Also, there is a part missing that i've yet to figure out and the bassline may be slightly
different from the record, due to seeing live performances.
