And then they shut down the power all along the line,
           D                         F         C
And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine.

The legendary hitchhiker says he knows where it's at.

Elvis Costello Inspired Music
Official Website: http://myspace.com/quotingnapoleon Plastic America by Quoting Napoleon John Salazar - Vocals Sam Kovic - Guitar Guy Wettstein - Bass Steve Turmell - Drums Elvis Costello Inspired Music Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus 25 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter, with Irish ancestry. Costello came to prominence as an early participant in London's pub rock scene in the mid-1970s, and later became associated with the punk rock and New Wave musical genres, before establishing his own unique voice in the 1980s. Steeped in wordplay, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs, and his music has drawn on dozens of genres. Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote, "Costello, the pop encyclopedia, can reinvent the past in his own image". http://www.elviscostello.com See Also: Mystery Dance, Pay It Back, I'm Not Angry, Waiting For The End Of The World, Watching The Detectives, No Action, Living In Paradise, Radio Sweetheart, Stranger In The House, Welcome To The Working Week, Blue Minute, Miracle Man, Call On Me, The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes,I Don't Want To Go Home, I Hear A Melody, Blame It On Cain, No Dancing, Night Rally, Hoover Factory,.
