Lyrics

Acoustical Movement
Intro: (in 3) Em Bm Em Bm repeat

Half a mile from the railway crossing
Hopin’ the car can make the grade
I’ve got a canteen here for my thirst
Tailor-made

I hear thunder in the distance
Oh, great Rhythm-Maker
Put the top up on the car
Before it rains!
Atmospheric condition ‘n rain

Acoustical movement
Shine down on me Frank Lloyd Wright
You built more than a cinder-box city
It was alright, alright, alright, alright

Half a mile from the city centre
Glass and steel towers remain the same
I’ve got a first-aid kit here by my side
In case some architect wants to take the blame

I hear thunder in the distance
Oh, great Rhythm-Maker
Put the top up on the car
Before it rains!
Architectural decision ‘n brain

Acoustical movement
Shine down on me Frank Lloyd Wright
You built more than a cinder-box city
It was alright, alright, alright, alright

Inst Break: (in 3) Em Bm Em Bm repeat

Half a mile from the suburbs
Hopin the car will make the grade
I’ve got a brand new set of golf clubs here in my trunk
Taylor-made

I hear thunder in the distance
Oh, great Rhythm-Maker
I’ll put the top up on the car
Before it rains!
Calvin Klein ‘n wine, Beaujolais

Acoustical movement
Shine down on me Frank Lloyd Wright
You built more than a cinder-box city
It was alright, alright, alright, alright
