G
Welcome to the land of fire
D/F#
I hope you brought the right attire,
Em C
The crippled man is waiting at the door
G
He said "your eyes are much too bright"
D/F#
The things you say are never right,
Em C
The sins of all the world lie on your head
G
So when you see me look the other way
D/F#
Cause -ohoh- lately all I do is play
Em C
All the glasses in the world say "come with me..."
G D/F#
I need a minute to get my head straight
Em C
Just to hit it before it's too late
G D/F#
Innocent, considering my middle name is 'shake my body'
Em C
Take a seat it's glittering, I shake you in, I shake my body
Intro/Riff
G
Welcome to the land of fail
D/F#
I hope you brought your soul for sale
Em C
The greeter's still at home I think he died
G
The land of smash and fairy tale
D/F#
The truth of life is close to hell
Em C
The best you'll be is nearly dead or failed
G
So when you see me look the other way
D/F#
Cause lately all I do is say
Em C
These the plans I make believe all come with me
G D/F#
I need a minute to get my head straight
Em C
Just to hit it before it's too late
G D/F#
Innocent, considering my middle name is 'shake my body'
Em C
Take a seat it's glittering, I shake you in, I shake my body
Bridge (riff/chords)
G D/F# Em C
Oh, perhaps it's all a dream and make believe
G D/F# Em C
Oh, the last of all my dreams but still leave me
G D/F#
I need a minute to get my head straight
Em C
Just to hit it before it's too late
G D/F#
Innocent, considering my middle name is 'shake my body'
Em C
Take a seat it's glittering, I shake you in, I shake my body
