Verse 1
[C13]I was born yesterday when they brought my Kamakiriad
When they handed me the keys [C9] [C13] It's a steam-power 10 the frame is
out of Glasgow
The [C13]tech is Balinese
It's not a [C13]freeway bullet or a bug with monster wheels
It's a [C13]total biosphere the farm in the back
Is [C13]hydroponic
[C13]Good, fresh things every day of the year
[C13]Good, fresh things every day of the year
With [C13]all screens and functions
In [C13]sync lock with Tripstar
This [C13]cool rolling bubble
Is [F9]all set to samba
This route could be [G9]trouble
[F9] (This route could be [Ab9]trouble)
Chorus
[A9]Steamin' up
That [F#7+5-9]Trans-Island [F#7]Skyway
[Cmaj13] Tryin' to make that final [B7]deadline
And if the [A9]lanes are clear
We're gonna [F#7+5-9]drive a little [F#7]harder
We'll be [Cmaj13]deep in the Zone by [B7]cryin' time[C9]
Verse 2
[D7] [C#7] [C13] Say, there's a wreck
On the side of the road [C9] [C13] Lots of blood and broken glass
[C9]Well the [C13]kid who was driving
I know from [C9]somewhere[C13]
Some kids just drive too fast[C9] [C13] Wait just a minute
There's a beautiful [C9]survivor[C13]
With dancer's legs and laughing [C9]eyes[C13]
C'mon snakehips, it's all over now [C9] [C13] strap in tight cause it's a long
sweet ride
Re [C7]lax - put some sounds on
I'll [C7]brew up some decaf
C'mon [C7]kick off those heels ma'am
Now [F9]breathe in and sigh out
Let's get with the [G9]program
[F9](Let's talk about the [Ab9]good times)
Chorus
[A9]Steamin' up
That [F#7+5-9]Trans-Island [F#7]Skyway
[Cmaj13] Tryin' to make that final [B7]deadline
And if the [A9]lanes are clear
We're gonna [F#7+5-9]drive a little [F#7]harder
We'll be [Cmaj13]deep in the Zone by [B7]cryin' time

[D11] We reach the sprangle
[D13] Just at dawn
[D11] These little streets I used to [D13]know
[D11] Is that my father
[G13]Mowin' the lawn
[D13](C'mon daddy get in let's go)
[D11] C'mon daddy get in let's go
[D9] C'mon daddy get [D11]in let's go
C'mon daddy get [G9]in let's go
[D11] C'mon daddy get in let's go
C'mon [D9]daddy get in let's go
[D9]C'mon daddy get in let's go
C'mon daddy get [G9]in let's go
Verse 3
We [C13]pull into Five Zoos
Past motels and drive-thrus
That noon sun is blinding
The [F9]tidepools are boiling
Below plates are [G7]grinding
[F9] (Let's talk about the [Ab9]good times)[D13-5]
Chorus
[A9]Steamin' up
That [F#7+5-9]Trans-Island [F#7]Skyway
[Cmaj13] Tryin' to make that final [B7]deadline
And if the [A9]lanes are clear
We're gonna [F#7+5-9]drive a little [F#7]harder
We'll be [Cmaj13]deep in the Zone by [B7]cryin' time
[A9]Steamin' up
That [F#7+5-9]Trans-Island [F#7]Skyway
[Cmaj13] Tryin' to make that final [B7]deadline
And if the [A9]lanes are clear
We're gonna [F#7+5-9]drive a little [F#7]harder
We'll be [Cmaj13]deep in the Zone by [B7]cryin' time
