Tommygun by Max Gowan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Terry talks like a tommygun
But he hits like a morning dove
When I ask what the neighbors did
Laughs and grins like a Christmas kid and says that he knows
Climbed up on a telephone wire
Said the end times are coming
Took a spill, only broke a couple bones
No steady check, he’d love for judgement day to come
[Verse 2]
I’m packing all my things at once
They say the time is finally here
I’ve got enough for 50 days now
I can’t leave without him, so he’s slumped around my neck
There’s not a car out on the highway
Nobody knows except for me
We beat the rush to the hills now
All the way he’s laughing, points at all the things he sees
[Verse 3]
Not in my head, but in my heart
I know that’s my Tommygun
Terry talks like a tommygun
But he hits like a morning dove
When I ask what the neighbors did
Laughs and grins like a Christmas kid and says that he knows
Climbed up on a telephone wire
Said the end times are coming
Took a spill, only broke a couple bones
No steady check, he’d love for judgement day to come
[Verse 2]
I’m packing all my things at once
They say the time is finally here
I’ve got enough for 50 days now
I can’t leave without him, so he’s slumped around my neck
There’s not a car out on the highway
Nobody knows except for me
We beat the rush to the hills now
All the way he’s laughing, points at all the things he sees
[Verse 3]
Not in my head, but in my heart
I know that’s my Tommygun
