Elvis Costello Come the Meantimes song lyrics
What are you going to say to me?
Will you be betraying me?
Will you be deceiving me?
And beyond believing in me?
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
Are you still obeying me?
Will you still be praying to me?
Will you sit in judgment then?
Be the first one to condemn
Now you've got nobody else to blame
And trouble remembering my name
Will you still be cursing me
Come my anniversary
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
And I'm drinking to your health
Find I'm only talking to myself
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
Phony prophets offer hope
That's a different kind of dope
Right now!
Right now!
Right now!
Gather some stones and make them atone
Right now!
Right now!
Right now!
(Let's go get stoned)
