Up in the sky where the rents are high and we all do sweet damn all

      E 
In our castle in the air there's all creeds there, there's yellow, white and brown 
     Am                                   Dm 
The doors gape wide, we trudge inside and terror fills the air 
Am                                                     F       E

                     Dm                Bm               E 
The names go past so devilish fast, we must be near the snow 
   Am                              Dm 
At thirty three, which is Hitachi, seventeen Japanese go 
Am                                                                  F

The ones that want to get out first are always at the back

So push the button, mind the door, stiffen up your knee 
Am                                        F          E 
Sorry miss, I meant to press number forty three
