Loud Family Jimmy Still Come Around
Christine and Sharon are sureYou can deadbolt the doors
But the outside gets in
At the edges of the windows and floors
And ways of wasting the day
Get pristine and passe
All the tremors before California falls away
But Jimmy's world is a big thankless job
And she goes to bed loaded with phobias that she's been
robbed
And although all other boys are upstages
He's a ball lightning charge but no way to stay warm
through the ice age
And Jimmy's home life's resigned
To be fallen behind
Ultraviolet head-shop ideas that seem good at the time
And every vice of the age
Is indulged and engaged
A Miami exposure bust looking for a stage
And all too often the thrill is the shock
You can argue forever just where the good part starts
and stops
But in the middle it swings and it rocks
They can buy their own pool and survive all the drops
off the deep end
Jimmy's on drugs again
Day-Glo sportswear, shoulders are lookin' tan
Jimmy's on drugs again
Hated us yesterday
Now he's our biggest fan
Thinks he's a stranger now
Joined the elite
But he still comes around
Still comes around on the downbeat
All right
And like their ancestors did
The adults fight the kids
And containers fight off the excitement near the cracks
in the lids
Jimmy makes a big deal of the deep things he feels
Imagine his shock
When he learns it isn't real
Christine and Sharon live everywhere now
You can't lock up your sons 'cause they'll find them
somehow
Ohhh, they got their work cut out saving his soul
He's the tall-pouring type and no one ever told him to
say 'when'
Jimmy's on drugs again
Day-Glo sportswear, shoulders are lookin' tan
Jimmy's on drugs again
Hated us yesterday
Now he's our biggest fan
Thinks he's a stranger now
Joined the elite
But he still comes around
Still comes around on the downbeat
Down down
Jimmy's on drugs again
Day-Glo sportswear, shoulders are lookin' tan
Jimmy's on drugs again
Hated us yesterday
Now he's our biggest fan
Thinks he's a stranger now
Joined the elite
But he still comes around
Still comes around on the downbeat
Downbeat
Down down down down
