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
