Come The Meantimes Lyrics - Wise Up Ghost - Elvis Costello & The Roots

What are you going to say to me? 

Will you be betraying me? 

Come The Meantimes 

Will you be deceiving me? 

And beyond believing in me? 

Come The Meantimes 

He came back, (right back) 

And nobody blinked 

He came back, (right back) 

At least I think that he did 

He came back, (right back) 

And he ran and he hid 

And he muttered and moaned 

And said "Let's go get stoned" 

Will you be denying me? 

Will you still come crying to me 

Come The Meantimes 

Are you still obeying me? 

Will you still be praying to me? 

Come The Meantimes 

Will you sit in judgment then? 

Be the first one to condemn 

Come The Meantimes 

Now you've got nobody else to blame 

And trouble remembering my name 

Will you still be cursing me 

Come my anniversary 

Come The Meantimes 

He came back, (right back) 

And they followed and failed 

He came back, (right back) 

He got hammered and nailed 

He came back, (right back) 

And he wandered alone 

They said let's gather some stones 

And make them atone 

Now I'm in a hall of mirrors 

With my secret thoughts and terrors 

Come The Meantimes 

And I'm drinking to your health 

Find I'm only talking to myself 

Come The Meantimes 

He came back, (right back) 

And nobody blinked 

He came back, (right back) 

At least I think that he did 

He came back, (right back) 

Then he ran and he hid 

And he muttered and moaned 

And said "Let's go get stoned" 

Blossoms fragrant opening 

Poppies full of opium 

Come The Meantimes 

Phony prophets offer hope 

That's a different kind of dope 

Come The Meantimes 

Right now! 

Right now! 

Right now! 

Gather some stones and make them atone 

Come The Meantimes 

(Let's go get stoned) 

Come The Meantimes
