Lyrics
COMIN' HOME
Sniper fire coming from the TV screen
Got me down on my face
Aint getting up until the gun get's seen
And I know the air is safe
Don't wanna hear anything
Tonight
Could make me dead
Don't wanna go anywhere
Tonight
In my head
I remember that time before I signed the form
You and me, we were okay
But when the kid's got a wife
And his body's still warm
There aint much left to say
Don't wanna do anything
Tonight
Make me feel that way
Don't wanna do anything
Tonight
Cept pray
Saw a dead man lying in Lincoln street
Nobody else could see
He got up in a hail of smoke and machine
And I saw that it was me
Don't wanna see anything
Tonight
Could make me scream
Don't wanna go anywhere
Tonight
In my dream
And the young man walked out of the night
No shoes on his feet
And I shot him dead through the camp-fire light
And his eyes still looked at me
Don't wanna go anywhere
Tonight
Where I can see
Don't wanna even open up
My eyes
That's where he'll be
Well I hear you singing out on the stair
And I want to feel your skin
But there's a stranger sitting in the corner there
Got to keep my eye on him
Don't wanna come home tonight
Baby please
Don't let me in
Don't wanna come home tonight
Baby please
Don't let me in
