[Intro]
Bm A G
[Verse]
Bm A G
Can’t remember anything at all
Bm
Flame trees lined the streets
A G
Can’t remember anything at all
[Chorus]
Bm
But I’m driving my car down to Geneva
[Verse]
A G
I been sitting in my basement patio
Bm
Aye, it was hot
A G
Up above girls walk past
Bm
Their roses all in bloom
A G
Have you ever heard about the Higgs Boson Blues?
Bm
I’m goin' down to Geneva, baby
A G
Gonna teach it to you
Bm A G
Who cares, who cares what the future brings?
[Verse]
Bm
Black road long and I drove and drove
A G
I came upon a crossroad
Bm
The night was hot and black
A G
I see Robert Johnson with a ten dollar guitar
Bm
Strapped to his back
Looking for a tune
A
Well here comes Lucifer
G
With his canon law
Bm
And a hundred black babies running from his genocidal jaw
A G
He got the real killer groove
Bm
Robert Johnson and the devil, man
A G
Don’t know who's gonna rip off who
Bm
Driving my car, flame trees on fire
A G
Sitting and singin’ the Higgs Boson Blues
Bm
I’m tired, I'm lookin' for a spot to drop
A G
All the clocks have stopped in Memphis now
[Verse]
Bm
In the Lorraine Motel, it’s hot
A G
It’s hot, that's why they call it a hot spot
Bm
I take a room with a view
A G
Hear a man preaching in a language that’s completely new, yeah
Bm
Making the hot cots in the flophouse bleed
A G
While the cleaning ladies sob into their mops
Bm
And the bellhop hops and bops
A G
And a shot rings out to a spiritual groove
Bm A G
Everybody bleeding to the Higgs Boson Blues
[Verse]
Bm
And if I die tonight
A G
Bury me in my favourite yellow patent leather shoes
Bm
With a mummified cat and a cone-like hat
A G
That the Caliphate forced on the Jews
Bm
Can you feel my heart beat?
Can you feel my heart beat?
[Verse]
A G
Hannah Montana does the African Savannah
Bm
As the simulated rainy season begins
A G
She curses the queue at the Zulus
Bm
And moves on to Amazonia
A G
And cries with the dolphins
Bm
And mama ate the pygmy
The pygmy ate the monkey
A G
The monkey has a gift that he is sending back to you
Bm
Look here come the missionary
A G
With his smallpox and flu
Bm
He’s saving them savages
A G
With his Higgs Boson Blues
[Chorus]
Bm
I’m driving my car down to Geneva
A G
I’m driving my car down to Geneva
[Verse]
Bm
Oh, let the damn day break
A G
Rainy days always make me sad
Bm
Miley Cirus floats in a swimming pool in Toluca Lake
A G
And you’re the best girl I ever had
Bm A G
Can’t remember anything at all
