Come With Me Tonight
Schneider Bob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's booger sugar and devils meat
and hard as boardwalk bubblegum
and smooth as 151
But hey hey, it's all right
I don't mind I won't fight it
Hey hey, it's all right
Oh there's Larry he's all right
He's a walking stick of lit dynamite
Always gets it wrong
His heart's as soft as chickenbone
We can lose ourselves
not find our way back home
'Till the whole world feels just like a saturday night
without a care in the world
without a net underneath us
floating through the air
high as a kite
Hey hey, my my
You're as pretty as the big blue sky
Hey hey, it's alright
'cause baby you can come with me tonight
Oh and there's Barry
He's okay
He might even find himself one of these days
with his diamonds and cocaine
and his "honey, I won't ever do that again"
But hey hey, it's all right
I don't mind and I won't fight
Hey hey, it's all right
'Cause baby you can come with me tonight
