"Tommy" lyrics - PORTUGAL. THE MAN

Tommy was a preacher's son
Now he's running through the jungle "yes sir!" ("yes sir!")
Fingers cold and fire
When you get so tired and we're so tired
Lazing back in this desert
Waiting for that sunny day

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh

Tommy was a preacher's son
Now he's running through the streets selling up that cocaine
Those fire eyes will get you
When you get too tired and we're so tired and
Eyes blister beaded fortress rolling fevered freight trains in

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ohh
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ohh
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ohh
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ohh
Oh, oh oh

[Chorus:]
Well I met three men with friends in office
Smooth dark skin and ivory teeth smiles
Our boots come alive in this mud in this mud and this shit
This mud in this mud and this shit

[Post-Chorus:]
Life is hard to fill with teeth that bite

"Life is hard to fill with teeth that bite and eat up our fears"
Through August fall of '69
Jesus had birthed him
He spoke in guns through crippled sheets
For Jesus had birthed him
Sugar cubes fingernails worming snakes that built the fire
When you get so tired and we're so tired
Oh Jimmy got impatient
Waiting for that sunny day

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ohh
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ohh
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ohh
Oh, oh oh oh ooh oh oh oh ohh
Oh, oh oh

[Chorus:]
Well I met three men with friends in office
Smooth dark skin and ivory teeth smiles
Our boots come alive in this mud in this mud and this shit
This mud in this mud and this shit

[Solo]

[Chorus:]
Well I met three men with friends in office
Smooth dark skin and ivory teeth smiles
Our boots come alive in this mud in this mud and this shit
Well I met three men with friends in office
Smooth dark skin and ivory teeth smiles
Our boots come alive in this mud in this mud and this shit
This mud in this mud and this shit
