What are you going to say to me?
|
Will you be betraying me?
|
Come The Meantimes
|
|
Will you be deceiving me?
|
And beyond believing in me?
|
Come The Meantimes
|
|
He came back, (right back)
|
And nobody blinked
|
He came back, (right back)
|
At least I think that he did
|
He came back, (right back)
|
And he ran and he hid
|
And he muttered and moaned
|
And said "Let's go get stoned"
|
|
Will you be denying me?
|
Will you still come crying to me
|
Come The Meantimes
|
|
Are you still obeying me?
|
Will you still be praying to me?
|
Come The Meantimes
|
|
Will you sit in judgment then?
|
Be the first one to condemn
|
Come The Meantimes
|
|
Now you've got nobody else to blame
|
And trouble remembering my name
|
Will you still be cursing me
|
Come my anniversary
|
Come The Meantimes
|
|
He came back, (right back)
|
And they followed and failed
|
He came back, (right back)
|
He got hammered and nailed
|
He came back, (right back)
|
And he wandered alone
|
They said let's gather some stones
|
And make them atone
|
|
Now I'm in a hall of mirrors
|
With my secret thoughts and terrors
|
Come The Meantimes
|
And I'm drinking to your health
|
Find I'm only talking to myself
|
Come The Meantimes
|
|
He came back, (right back)
|
And nobody blinked
|
He came back, (right back)
|
At least I think that he did
|
He came back, (right back)
|
Then he ran and he hid
|
And he muttered and moaned
|
And said "Let's go get stoned"
|
|
Blossoms fragrant opening
|
Poppies full of opium
|
Come The Meantimes
|
Phony prophets offer hope
|
That's a different kind of dope
|
Come The Meantimes
|
|
Right now!
|
Right now!
|
Right now!
|
Gather some stones and make them atone
|
|
Come The Meantimes
|
(Let's go get stoned)
|
Come The Meantimes
