Come Home Billy Bird Lyrics - Divine Comedy

William wakes with his clothes on 

The morning call has been and gone 

And he might not make the flight 

But he will try, yeah 

Bit by bit, it comes back to him 

A bunch of Belgian businessmen 

And a strange drinking game 

Oh, God, why? 

Come home, Billy Bird 

International business traveler 

Come home, Billy Bird

He hails a cab but the driver sucks 

He drives so slowly, and he talks so much 

That it hurts Billy Bird's aching brain, yeah 

He runs from the cab to the check-in desk 

She says "no way," but William begs 

On his knees, "please, please, please" 

"Well, okay" 

Come home, Billy Bird 

International business traveler 

Come home, Billy Bird 

Drenched in sweat he finds his seat 

And with the luggage squeezed down beneath his feet 

He begins to think that things can't get no worse (can't get no worse) 

But then a voice says, "Bags that can't be stowed 

In the overhead lockers must go below 

In the hold, please let go, thank you, sir"

International business traveler 

Come home, Billy Bird 

Come home, William, come home 

He runs on past the carousel 

Screaming, "Damn my luggage all to hell 

I can buy a new shirt and tie any day" 

He rides from the airport into town 

To the high school football ground 

Where his son has just begun his big football game 

Come home, Billy Bird 

International business traveler 

Come home, Billy Bird 

Come home, Billy Bird (come home, William) 

International business traveler (come home, William) 

Come home, Billy Bird (come home) 

Come home, Billy Bird (come home, William) 

International business traveler 

Come home, Billy Bird (come home, come home) 

Come home, Billy Bird (come home to where you once belonged)

Come home, Billy Bird (come home) 

Come home, Billy Bird
