You come home late and you come home early.

[redwitch]

You come home big when you’re feeling small.
You come home straight and you come home curly.
Sometimes you don’t come home at all.

5. What in the world's come over you?

What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run.

[Ptah]

6. And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile

It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No, I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
