Lassie Come Home Tab

by Alphaville


                        
Lonely boy gazing on the afternoon
                                                
People drifting cross the surface of the twilight day
                                            
There's a Little Yellow Man, standing by the railway station
                                                  
Painting portraits on the brickwalls of Billie Holloway
                      
Lovely Lady S.M.I.L.E.
                                                       
 Dance, my dear, I'm only operating on "Lassie Come Home"
                            
"This was authentic you" she spoke,
                                         
"this was authentic you who blew me cold"
                       
  He had no chance to realize,
                                
It hit her straight between the eyes
             
So I've been told
                                  
In the park, she's giving out some photographs
                                                       
On which she's giving out some photos of what she hands around
                                                 
"They videoed a ghost tonight", she said before I turned it out
                                                
"It rode an orange paper-bike, and left without a sound."
                 
Keep on riding, Sir
                     
 Open up the door and shout it out:
                       
"Lassie Come Home, Come Home!!"
                            
"This was authentic you?" she spoke,
                                         
"this was authentic you who blew me cold"
                       
  He had no chance to realize,
                                
It hit her straight between the eyes
                          
Lonely Girl dancing in the music-hall
                                                      
Lightning struck her silver starship and turned it into stone
                                                
And now it's falling all the time into that void beyond her grey eyes
                                                
Somewhere a telephone is ringing, but nobody's at home
                           
"Hello Junkie-Sweetheart, listen now
             
This is your Captain calling:
                      
Your Captain is dead."
                  
Keep on riding, Sir, open up the door
                                                  
And shout it out -- shout it out -- shout it out -- shout it out
                     
Lassie come home.....
