[Verse 2] (1:20-)
 
  Every morning I'm out at dawn with the dwarfs and the tramp
  For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps
 
  Everyone I meet out on the street acts as if I wasn't there
  But they're all going to know who I am 'cos I can go out on the air
 
 
(Chorus) (1:51-)

|A                     |               |
 Leaving   the   car    down leafy lane 
 Turning out Tarzan for my Jungle Jane
 
|F#                     |                  |
 anyone at all,    from  Captain Zero and 
 his brand of superhero, standing by a call
 
|D              |A             |
     Oh it's not easy, no no no 
|D              |A          |Esus4/B     |   ||
 No, no it's not easy making real friends
 
 
(Intro) (2:27-)
 
 
[Verse 3] (2:46-)
 
  Don't you give me your steak-reared milkboys, milkboys
  Half alive on empty white noise, white noise
 
  I got power, I'm proud to be loud; my signal goes out clear,
  I want everybody to know that Mozo is here
 
 
(Chorus) (3:16-)
 
 
Coda: (3:27-) <synth riff & bass solo>
