[Intro]
Am  Am7 Asus2
Baby's busy hiding in the bassinet

Wonderin' if the third world war started yet

I told her I was pulling up and heading west

She said she would have come, but she was overdressed

I sent a picture postcard of a Midwest bank

She wrote me that she showed it to her new friend Frank

Who noticed in the window of the 19th floor

A guy my age about to prove that man can't soar


He would also like to know

If I could just check around before I left this town

For slow-mo footage of the tumbledown

So this may not be my best day

But this ain't no golden age

You looked pretty on the freeway

Let's drive into the brave new world


A van pulled up and someone offered me a ride

The driver lost the map, but he was terrified

Everybody whispering to save his pride

Said, "Son, would you be kind enough to be our guide?"

The driver yelled, "The one in back already tried

His memory is rusty and his vision tied"

Glasses and a lubricant were by his side

But the tin man was inanimate, the lion lied


Did not want to see me go

But I did not want to be another musketeer

'Cause the gas runs out before the van's in gear

Please don't hit me if I do say

But this ain't no golden age

And you looked so pretty on the freeway

Let's drive into the brave new world


Buster and his company look good in black

They're looking for a way out of the cul-de-sac

Tearing through the phone book and the almanac

They all have dusty noses 'cause they sniff shellac

Finally found the number of a matador

Who rode up in a Beemer with a pricey whore

But Buster wasn't quick enough, he'd lock the door

And rode off sayin' he'd be back before the war

By then the night was falling slow

And I did not want to stick around and just look old

When I saw you pulling onto my soft shoulder

This may not be my best day (This may not)

But this ain't no golden age

You looked pretty on the freeway

Let's drive into the brave new world


Please don't hit me if I do say

But this ain't no golden age

And you looked so pretty on the freeway

Let's drive into the brave new world
