('Heh heh heh...heh heh...this here is a story about your friend
and mine - who is it? Who is it?')

Am
There you stand
          Am/G
With your LA tan
         D7/F#
And your New York walk
         Am/F
And your New York talk [RIFF]

Your mother left you
When you were small
But you're gonna wish
You wasn't born at all [RIFF]

D7              F   G
Steel and glass
           Am
Steel and glass

Steel and glass
Steel and glass

Your phone don't ring
No one answers your call
How does it feel
To be off the wall? [RIFF]

Well your mouthpiece squawks
As he spread your lies
But you can't pull strings
If your hands are tied [RIFF]

Well your teeth are clean
And your mind is capped
You leave your smell
Like an alley cat [RIFF]

Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass


NOTE: "I was trying to write something nasty, and I really didn't
feel that nasty, but there's some interesting musical stuff on
it." (John Lennon, 1980)
