Comin' Tonight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're comin' tonight
To my home town
I've been to yours
Many times before
And it's always been
A thrill
You'll stay in a hotel
Or at friends near by
We haven't spent the night
Together in this town
Since nineteen seventy nine
Not such a long time
I can steal a melody
Of this I am allowed
'Cause you would never
Sue me baby
It wouldn't look good
It'd be weird
Have a drink after the show
I might really want to know
But everything
You say I oppose
I blame it on my hole
It's just my role
I can steal a melody
Of this I am allowed
'Cause you would never
Sue me baby
It wouldn't look good
It'd be weird
I spend my time
Trying to forget you
With booze and smoke
From cigarettes and dope
I only seem to forget myself
It's only you that is left
I can steal a melody
Of this I am allowed
'Cause you would never
Sue me baby
I can steal a melody
This I am allowed
You would never
Sue me baby
It wouldn't look good
It'd be weird
It'd be weird
It'd be weird
You're comin' tonight
To my home town
