Nobody Home - Live lyrics
by Roger Waters
[Intro]
*Shots*
"It's Rabbit Leader. Are you receiving me?"
"Hello Rabbit Leader. Red Tree R3. Receiving loud and clear"
"Right. I'm driving on your tail and I want you to take apace evasion. Understood?"
"Understood"
[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
I've got a little black book with my poems in
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues
I've got thirteen channels of sh*t on the TV to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
[Chorus 1: Roger Waters]
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There will be nobody home
[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
And I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to (Fly to, fly to, fly to...)
[Chorus 2: Roger Waters]
Ooh, babe, when I pick up the phone
("Surprise, surprise, surprise...")
There's still nobody home
[Outro: Roger Waters]
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
And I've got fading roots
"Where the hell are you Simon?"
*Shots*
