Tommy

[Verse 1] He said, "Let's look for snakes at the rest stop They're hiding in the tall grass by the highway sign" Tommy's chasing down the thing that slips away Wrapping his hands around a ray of light When we were little, trapping house spiders We'd set them free as soon as we knew we should These days I can only dream of lifting that glass We talk until we turn to bones, 'til I'm understood [Chorus] Baby, when I stop loving you You'll never know 'cause nothing'll change I'll keep looking out the window I'm not leaving 'til I see the flames This is shiny, this is such a good thing I turn it over 'til my hands are turning green My hands are turning green [Verse 2] He said, "Let's find a place when we're in Austin If you can stand the cover bands and sweat" The landlord puts a key into my palm and I can't stop thinking, am I the best you're gonna get? [Chorus] Baby, when I stop loving you You'll never know 'cause nothing'll change I'll keep looking out the window I'm not leaving 'til I see the flames This is shiny, this is such a good thing I turn it over 'til my hands are turning green My hands are turning green I turn it over 'til there's nothing underneath
