              Intro: Riff D D   D C   D   D D   D C   G
       Riff 2x
        D  C  G    
 
  D                      C
 There was a boy who had too many toys
        G                  D
 And an ache inside of his bones
    D                          C
 He sought extrication through chemical vocation
     G                      D
 And now he just answers to tones
      C      G     D
 It's deadly and alluring
     F        C        G
 The sound of pounding heat
    F      C       G          D 
 Enslaving all who dare to succumb to
         A#      C                Riff
 The temptations of the forbidden beat
 D                       C
 Thinking, today, of what I want to say
         G                  D
 Thinking of inhibition and vice
  D                       C
 What the call straight I do relegate
         G                  D
 As I cautiously saltate along
      C      G     D
 It's deadly and alluring
     F        C        G
 The sound of pounding heat
    F      C       G          D 
 Enslaving all who dare to succumb to
         A#      C               
 The temptations of the forbidden beat
 D                       C
 It thunders away at first light of each day
         G                  D
 And the simpleton lifestyle evolves
  D                       C
 But soon enters dusk as the last surrey rusts
         G                  D
 And a new day, upon us, results
