  On Venus, it rains sulfuric acid
  And the raindrops evaporate before they hit the ground
C                           D
  Japanese red-crowned crane by the water here
A
  Trouble in town
                        E
  I feel like I'm gonna drown
  Down here
                  D
  It's all coming down
                  A
  Down here

  Hurricanes in from Australia
  Tore up the neighborhood
  A telegram from Lithuania
  And the news is not good
  And I don't speak the language
  Down here
  It's all coming down
  Down here

  Johnson Johnson is my name
  Brooklyn is my station
  Heaven is my resting place
  And God is my salvation
