Outside the house Mr. Simpson announces Sally couldn't go to the meeting. He went on cleaning his blue rolls-royce And she ran inside a-weeping. She got to her room and tears splashed the picture Of a new messiah. She picked up a book of her father's life And threw it on the fire. She knew from the start deep down in her heart That she and Tommy were worlds apart. But her mother said nevermind your parties To be what you'll be. The theme of the sermon was Come Unto Me And Love Will Find a Way. So Sally decided to ignore her dad And sneak out anyway. She spent all afternoon gettin ready And decided she'd try to touch him. Maybe he's see that she was free And talk to her this Sunday. She knew from the start deep down in her heart That she and Tommy were worlds apart. But her mother said nevermind your parties To be what you'll be. She arrived at six and the place was swingin To gospel music by nine. Group after group appeared on the stage And Sally just sat there crying. She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture Right in the very front row. Then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge Went on and said "Here we go!". The crowd went crazy As Tommy hit the stage. Little Sally got lost as the police bossed the crowd back in a rage. Soon the atmosphere was cooler And Tommy gave a lesson. Sally just had to let him know she loved him And lept up on the rostrum. She ran accross stage to the spotlit figure And brushed him on the face. Tommy wheeled round as a uniform man Threw her off the stage. She knew from the start deep down in her heart That she and Tommy were worlds apart. But her mother said nevermind your parties To be what you'll be. Her cheek hit her chair and blood trickled down Mingling with her tears. Tommy carried on preaching And his voice filled Sally's ears. She caught his eye, she had to try But he couldn't see through the lights. Her face was gashed and the ambulance man Had to carry her out that night. The crowd went crazy As Tommy left the stage. Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch And a gash across her face. Ooh! Sixteen stitches put her right and her dad said Don't say I didn't warn you. Sally got married to a rock musician She met in California. Tommy always talks about the day The disciples all went wild. Sally still carries a scar on her cheek To remind her of his smile. She knew from the start deep down in her heart That she and Tommy were worlds apart. But her mother said nevermind your parties To be what you'll be. |
