Trigger Hippy - Adelaide Lyrics

The house is cold, the rent's not paid
My shoes won't tie, and my bed's not made
I hum a tune, and I hate it so
I lay down on the kitchen floor
I pull the shade and close my eye
Dream of a perfect alibi

Adelaide, are you coming back to me?

Just like a stranger I left behind
Somewhere lost in the Georgia pine
Never close, but always near
The loudest cry I could not hear
You crossed the river, you found at last
On a bridge you built from a broken past

Adelaide, are you coming back to me?

Adelaide, hear me call your name
I'm so ashamed, Adelaide
That I learned how to love, and I learned how to pray
On the day that he came and took you away

The house is cold, the rent's not paid
My shoes won't tie, and my bed's not made
I hum a tune, and I hate it so
I lay down on the kitchen floor
I pull the shade and close my eyes
Dream of a perfect alibi

Adelaide, when are you coming back to me?

Adelaide, hear me call your name
I'm so ashamed, Adelaide
That I learned how to love, and I learned how to pray
On the day that he came and took you away

Oh, Adelaide

You just got to have
Just a little bit, of understanding this time
Cause I love you

Hear me crying Adelaide, Adelaide
Hear me crying Adelaide, Adelaide

Are you coming back to me?

You coming back?
Are you coming back to me?
Adelaide, are you coming back?
