Elvis Costello - Tommy's Coming Home Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (mccartney/macmanus)
  • She was counting out the window of the outbound train
  • All the poles of the telegraph
  • And the rock-a-bye rhythm in the song of the rails
  • Couldnt make the sweeper laugh
  • Down down down so deep
  • Down down drowning in his sleep
  • Tommys coming home again
  • And a hawk hovered high above a skinny jackrabbit
  • Pursued by a hungry fox
  • And a broker awoke her from a fitful slumber
  • Then consulted his shares and his stocks
  • Down down down they go
  • Down down how hell never know
  • Tommys coming home again
  • And its almost april fools day
  • As he glanced on his paper looking through the veil (? )
  • He could see she was really upset
  • As she tucked back the ribbon in a velvet box
  • As he offered her a cigarette
  • Down down down she took a drag
  • Now hes covered in a flag
  • Tommys coming home again
  • And its almost april fools day
  • Almost april fools day
  • And the jokes on everyone
  • He had that premonition
  • Only dead men dwell upon
  • But how could he know that only twelve months later
  • She would wear her skirt up over her knee
  • And in the very same carriage shed be flattened with roses
  • And forget the tears of bigotry (? )
  • Down down down they flow
  • Now now now it just dont matter anymore
  • Tommy made it home again
  • When it was almost april fools day
  • Almost april fools day
  • And the jokes on everyone
  • He had that premonition
  • Only dead men dwell upon
  • Tommys coming home again
  • Tommys coming home again
  • Tommys coming home
