I heard your ma cried louder than a church bell
When all the new flames got doused by stormy seas
I spent my time pining for a love song
Well I'll be home... Home in time tonight

I think the sad thing is that you'll leave without a fanfare
You'll hit the road pal, leave your footprints in the dust
You're a mental gymnast, hittin' flips right over your nightmares
You won't be home... Home in time tonight

Well I've had my highs and lows
Well, I've been pretentious and I've been a selfish fool, I know
I hope you reap all the seeds you've sown
'Cause your so fuckin' friendly
It's so fuckin' easy to feel at home

You think you're clever and classless and free
You're just a fuckin' scumbag just like me
And if you're building your house on the shore
Don't be surprised when the waves at your door

I've a pain in me hoop with you 'round these days
I'm so sick and tired of playing these games
We're all just dead, we're all just fucked, go back to sleep

I think it's funny when a dream knocks on your window
And although it's not yours, you're obliged to hold its seams
And all you want is to be singing the songs of your hometown
That dream can fuck off home... Home in time tonight

Well I've had my highs and lows
I've been pretentious and I've been a selfish fool, I know
I hope you reap all the seeds you've sown
'Cause your so fuckin' friendly
It's so fuckin easy to feel at home

You think you're clever and classless and free
You're just a fuckin scumbag just like me
And if you're building your house on the shore
Don't be surprised when the waves at your door

I've a pain in me hoop with you round these days
I'm so sick and tired of playing these games
We're all just dead, we're all just fucked, go back to sleep
