lyrics

29 degrees. Music and lyrics by Steve Johnson, 2013

Verse 1

F+m
E
29 degrees in Tokyo, random fact, new smart phone
D F+m
I shuffle the pod but I’m still alone, still alone.
F+m
E
Move the mouse and hit the keys, play along and aim to please
D
The virtual world is on its knees, on its knees

Bridge

F+m

I have a secret confession, I like my online pals
E
The poseurs and sycophants, and the Neanderthals
D
The lonely hearts and egos, windups and rude words
E
Gather for their fix in the land of the absurd

Chorus
D F+m D E
It’s a world that never begins, social networks, virtual friends
D F+m D E
Come and cruise right in, rise from jackass to a king

M8
D A E F+m
D A E E

Verse 2
F+m E
29 degrees is Tokyo, 15 back in Pimlico
D F+m
My wife went out 5 hours ago, 5 hours ago
F+m E
Online profiles, such deceit
D F+m
Digitally incomplete
D F+m
Reality just can’t compete, can’t compete

Chorus
D F+m D E
It’s a world that never begins, social networks, virtual friends
D F+m D E
Come and cruise right in, rise from jackass to a king

Last chorus
D F+m D E
You can never fall from grace. Make an error, delete your face
D F+m D E
Learn to moonwalk, avoid pain, you can’t suffer in this place
