The Modern Lovers version - Lyrics

Tonight I'm all alone in my room
I'll go insane if you won't sleep with me
I'll still be with you
I'm gonna meet you on the astral plane
The astral plane for dark at night
The astral plane or I'll go insane

Well I don't see you and it's getting dark
Today we should have gone to a Central Park
Well don't you want to see me ever again?
If not I'll meet you on the astral plane
The astral plane for late at night
The astral plane or I'd go insane

Well we've known each other from other lives
I want to see you today
But I'll prove my knowledge of what's inside
When I intercept you on the astral plane
The astral plane for late at night
The astral plane or I'd go insane

Alright

Well I don't see you and it's getting dark
I'd have a lot to say
But you're not the one that I can say it to
At least not today
Oh, well I don't remember it afterwords
I don't yet know the words!
But I know we've been together just this week
We've been together on the astral plane
The astral plane for late at night
The astral plane or I'd go insane

Well Tonight I'm all alone in my room
I'll go insane if you won't sleep with me
I'll still be with you
I'm gonna meet you on the astral plane
The astral plane for dark at night
The astral plane or I'll go insane

Roadrunner version (live) - Lyrics

Tonight I'm all alone in my room
I'll ??? go insane if you won't sleep with me
I'll still be with you
I'm gonna meet you on the astral plane
The astral plane when it's late at night
The astral plane so I don't go insane

Well I don't see you and it's getting dark
Today we're supposed to go to Central Park
Well don't you want to see me ever again?
If not I'll meet you on the astral plane
now that's The astral plane when it's late at night
The astral plane or so we don't go insane

Well we've known each other from a million years
I want to see you today
But it's your life and I can't complain
besides I see you on the astral plane
and that's The astral plane when it's late at night
The astral plane so we don't go insane

Well tonight I'm alone in my room
I'd have a lot to say
But you're not the one that I can say it to
At least not today
well I don't remember it afterwords
I don't yet know the words!
oh, But I know we've been together just this week
I know I've been with you on the astral plane
and that's The astral plane when it's late at night
The astral plane so we don't go insane

Well I found out, last night late
that everybody dreams in the same place
called Astral Plane
the Astral Plane
the Astral Plane
so we don't go insane

well tonight I'm all alone in my room
and I'm goin insane
but if you won't be with me
while I'll still see you
I'm gonna meet you on the astral plane
now that's The astral plane when it's late at night
The astral plane so we don't go insane

(we're the modern lovers, good night)

The Boarding House version - Lyrics

[recording starts after the song already began]

plane
If you won't sleep with me
you know I'll still see you
I'm gonna meet you on the astral plane
now it's the astral plane
late at night*

late at night, the astral Plane
so we don't go insane

well I found out last night late
that everyone dreams in the strange [??] places
on the astral plane when it's late at night
the astral Plane
so we don't go insane

well we've known each other since we were five years old
thought we'd be friends today
well we've done drifted drifted down a different way
we're only friends on the Astral Plane
yes the astral plane ??? late after dark
the astral Plane
so we don't go insane

now sometimes you fight with someone who you don't care about
and late at night you right the wrong and then you dream [??]
when you ?? again
?? your buddy's on the astral plane
the astral plane when it's late at night
the astral Plane
so we don't go insane

oh yeah

???

now dear tonight, I'm all alone in my room
I have a lot to say
but you're not the one that I can say it to
least not today
well I don't remember it afterward
I don't yet know the way
But I know we've been together, just this week
we've been together on the astral plane
and that the astral plane when it's late at night
the astral Plane
so we don't go insane

allright, allright

well I found out last night late
that everybody dreams in the same places
oh astral plane when it's late at night

so we don't go in (Ok modern lovers, rock em home)

tonight I'm all alone in my room
???
If you won't be with me, I will still see you
we're always together on the astral plane
oh it's the astral plane when it's late at night

so we don't go

Chords

This song has two main riffs. listen to the record to get the feeling of the time, etc, but the basic rifs are the "E riff":

e-0---0----------------0--
B-0---0----------------0--
G-1---1----------------1--
D-2---2----------------2--
A-2---2----------------2--
E-0---0---3---5---3----0--

I guess that would be written as E E/G E/A E/G E , but it is easier for me to think of it this way.

The "A riff" is about the same except it uses an A intead of an E.

e-0---0----------------0--
B-2---2----------------2--
G-2---2----------------2--
D-2---2----------------2--
A-0---0----------------0--
E-X---X---3---5---3----X--

The chord progression during the organ solos sounds like:

Tonight I'm all alone in my room
