T Total Tommy

[Verse 1]
To the sad-eyed, misinterpreted
Hung-up child of clay
So the drunken poet's pretty words
Didn't help you find your way
Was it your mistake for thinkin'
That he was born before his time
Or was it his for thinkin'
He might save you with his flimsy rhyme?

[Chorus]
T Total Tommy took a toke of tea
Black cats backin' up a big oak tree
Tick-tocks tickin' out a tune on time
Last words lookin' for a line to rhyme
Saw a fish swimmin' in the seesaw sea
But me, well, I'm only lookin'

[Verse 2]
I see so many with no place tonight
Their sleepy heads to lay
With pen in hand, I take a stand
I got nothin' deep to say
Some words are better left to whisper
Only to the wind
Some mеn kill with bullets, Lord
Others use a pеn

[Chorus]
Sidewalks singin' of a troubled time
Small talks marchin' to a nursery rhyme
Day trippers trippin' on a mornin' high
Stopwatch watchin' for a chance to die
Bad dogs barkin' up an empty tree
But me, well, I'm only cryin'

[Bridge]
Da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Chorus]
T Total Tommy took a toke of tea
Black cats backin' up a big oak tree
Tick-tocks tickin' out a tune on time
Last words lookin' for a line to rhyme
Saw a fish swimmin' in the seesaw sea
But me, oh
Sidewalks singin' of a troubled time
Small talks marchin' to a nursery rhyme
Day trippers trippin' on a mornin' high
Stopwatch watchin' for a chance to die
Bad dogs barkin' up an empty tree
But me
Well, I'm only cryin', mmm

[Outro]
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
