Stone Temple Pilots – Big Bang Baby

(Album: Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop (1996))

(RIFF)

got a picture of a photograph,  Of a wedding in a shell
It’s just a burnin’, achin’ memory, I never kiss and tell

Does anybody know, how the story really goes?
How the story really goes?  / Or should we all just hum along

C – D – E – E –

Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it’s a crash, crash, crash
I wanna die but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh

Spin me up, spin me, spin me out
Station, love station send me up and out
Is this what life and love is all about… I think, I think so

We used to see in color, Now it’s only black and white
Yea, it’s only black and white, Cause the world is color blind

Does anybody know, how the story really goes?
How the story really goes?  / Or should we all just hum along

[Pre- Chorus. ]  

E –         C –               E –         C –        Am – D – Am – E

Nothing’s for free, nothing’s for free,  Take it away boys
Nothing’s for free, nothing’s for free,  Take it away boys

So turn it up and burn it, There’s a hole in your head
There’s a hole in your head, Where the birds can’t sing along

Does anybody know, how the story really goes?
How the story really goes?  / Or should we all just hum along

[Pre- Chorus. ]  

[Chorus]

So turn it up and burn it……. (repeat last verse)
