39th Road, I'm a robot.
[C] 39th Road?
Did you know, nine nine [D] times out of ten,
when the forest is on fire,
there's a forest [D] fire?
I did not know that!
That's [G] right, Billy.
It's like Smokey the [D] Bear always says.
Keep [Bm] on truckin'.
[Am] I don't believe that's [D] what Smokey says.
Yeah, it's like a sketch phrase.
No, no, I'm pretty sure [N] you got that wrong.
My name's not Billy.
[D] [A] Drink your Capri Sun, Billy.
At any rate, forest fires are a natural occurrence,
like say [C] when they're started by lightning.
[Am] It's Mother Nature's way of clearing out debris,
and killing [G] dangerous ticks that can be deadly to the trees [A] themselves.
[Am] It's all part of the circle [C] of life.
[A]
That wasn't a circle.
Oh, sorry, right angles are a little easier than that.
Radii.
Oh, that [E] took all of my cunning.
All
[A] right, [Am] what are you doing a thumbs up for?
[A] Here's a song about setting something else on fire.
Is it?
No, it's not [Am] to Grandmother's couch.
She needs that.

[Cm] [Dm] desire.

[Cm] I've lost all ambition, the world [Cm] made flames.
[Bb] I just want to be the one you love.

But [C] I do want to start a flame deep down inside of your heart.
[F] Metaphorically, of course, I assure [Cm] you.
You can [Dm] actually do something like [C] that.
[F]
Because darling, you know, deep [G] down I have only one.
[Dm]
And that [C] one desire, that is you.
And nobody else ain't never not gonna do it.
