Dm7-Dm
I wanna ride the hydraulics
Dm7-Dm7
Lit up like the North Star
Dm7/C-Bb
I wanna wallow in the spoils before the crowd
Db/C-Dm7
I wanna play my guitar

Dm7-Dm
Not gonna sit up and beg
Dm7-Dm
Not gonna do tricks
Dm7/C-Bb
Not gonna stand here on a sound stage
Bb/A-Gm
Tethered to a crucifix

Dm

Dm
The ride's over
Dm7/C-Gm
I know
    Bb               Gm
But I'm not ready to go

Dm

I wanna flash my pastel colors by the rail
On a windy day at Pimlico
Don't want to write songs with this clown they set me up with
In a Los Angeles rehearsal studio

Not gonna tour with Trent Reznor
Third of three, bottom of the bill
You can't pay me to make that kind of music
Not gonna swallow that pill

The ride's over
I know
But I'm not ready to go

D
Maybe dad is right
G
I'm still young
Em                          D
And I can write C++ just as good as anyone
D
I know this guy at Lucas Arts
G
He says they're looking for hands
Em
In fifteen years I'll be throwing back beers
D
With my feet in the sand
