Tommy - Kelly Joe Phelps[00:00:01]
Tommy had a watch[00:00:14]
A good kind of watch[00:00:16]
It wouldn't tell time if you asked it[00:00:20]
Didn't have a face[00:00:28]
Just an ear and an eye[00:00:30]
To see him with[00:00:34]
Tommy stole candy[00:00:40]
From the cornerstore[00:00:43]
And gave it to the mice[00:00:46]
He built a home for[00:00:49]
By the side of the heater[00:00:52]
Next to his guitar[00:00:55]
That he could neither[00:00:58]
Play nor destroy[00:01:00]
Tommy sent a letter[00:01:08]
To the office of iniquity[00:01:10]
Demanding a history of his actions[00:01:13]
But the letter was returned[00:01:21]
Just 2 days gone[00:01:24]
There was no office of iniquity[00:01:27]
Tommy couldn't see so well[00:01:38]
And he didn't have a radio[00:01:41]
He'd talk to himself in different voices[00:01:44]
Or sing to himself in a Russian dialect[00:01:52]
Invented on a Sunday afternoon[00:01:58]
Tommy stole a limp[00:02:04]
And he borrowed a demeanor[00:02:06]
So he'd scare anybody[00:02:09]
Who'd want to talk away[00:02:13]
'Cause they frightened him so bad[00:02:17]
That he'd pee down his legs[00:02:20]
As he tried very hard to find the words[00:02:23]
Tommy wore the helmet[00:02:42]
Of a frustrated miner[00:02:45]
Digging for words as though gold[00:02:49]
Standing in the mud in his dark gray fedora[00:02:56]
Wearing his knee-patched dungarees[00:03:02]
Tommy was alone when the fire started[00:03:08]
High behind the wheel of a colt 45[00:03:14]
With a clip full of ether[00:03:21]
And a bucket full of gas[00:03:25]
And a belly full of turpentine oh[00:03:28]
Tommy made sure[00:03:47]
There was no one in danger[00:03:49]
By knocking on each door like a madman[00:03:52]
Then he locked himself in[00:04:00]
And did the whirling dervish[00:04:03]
Tipped the candle over on the floor[00:04:07]
Tommy fell asleep before the firemen came[00:04:13]
Which was good[00:04:18]
Because they scared him anyway[00:04:20]
All that they found were the mice[00:04:26]
Inside the fridge[00:04:30]
In a box with some cheese[00:04:32]
And a handwarmer run on batteries[00:04:38]
Tommy was a good man Nobody Knew[00:05:02]
Tommy was a good man Nobody Knew[00:05:08]
