ALL'S QUIET ON THE EASTERN FRONT (Dee Dee Ramone)
G# Watch the watch the way I C# walk
G# Can't you think my movements D# talk
G# Watch the watch the way I C# walk
G# Can't you think my movements D# talk
G# See me silently quietly creep
C# I am too amped to sleep
G# Lamp rays shining down
C# Street lamps make the bussing sound
G# Subway creaking down below
C# Garbage piled up and ready to go
Lock the windows the gates on
Taxi in the distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
Near some cats but dogs don't bark
Cool cats strolling after dark
Watch the watch...
Shaky lock and kicky door
Smokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front
Stalking the street till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
A# Watch the watch the way I D# walk
A# Can't you think my movements F talk
A# Watch the watch the way I D# walk
A# Can't you think my movements F talk
Can't you think my movements talk
Can't you think my movements talk
Can't you think my movements talk
