[Verse 1]
Lonely boy
Gazing at the afternoon
People driftin' 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 smile
Dance my dear, I'm only operating
On Lassie come home
[Refrain]
This was authentic you, she spoke
This was authentic you, who blew me cold
She had no chance to realize
It hit her straight between the eyes
So I've been told
[Verse 2]
In the park
She's giving out some photographs
On which shе's giving out some photos
Of what she hands around
They vidеoed a ghost tonight
She said before I turned it off
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!
[Rerain]
This was authentic you, she spoke
This was authentic you, who blew
Who blew me cold
I'd no chance to realize
It hit her straight between the eyes
So I've been told
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Lonely girl
Dancing in the music hall
Lightning struck her silver starship
And turned it into stone
And now she's falling all the time
Into that void beyond her grey eyes
Somewhere a telephone is ringing
But nobody's at home
[Hook]
Hello junkie sweetheart
Listen now, this is your captain calling
The captain is dead
Keep on riding, sir
Open up the door and shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out, shout it out
[Chorus]
Lassie come home, Lassie come home
Oh, Lassie come home
Lassie come home, Lassie come home
This is your captain calling, the captain calling
Lassie come home
Lassie come home
Lassie come home
We're falling all the time, oh
Come home
Lassie come home
Lassie come home, oh
Come home
