Lassie Come Home (original demo) Songtext
von Alphaville

Lonely boy
Gazing on the afternoon
People drifting cross the surface
Of the twilight day
There′s a little yellow man
Standing by the railway station
Painting portraits on the brickwalls
Of Billie Holloway

Lovely lady smile
Dance, my dear, I'm only operating
On Lassie come home

This was authentic you, she spoke
This was authentic you, who blew me cold
He had no chance to realize
It hit him straight between the eyes
So I′ve been told


In the park
She's giving out some photographs
On which she's giving out some photos
Oh, what she hands around
They videoed a ghost tonight (ghost tonight)
She said before I turned it off (turned it off)
It rode an orange paper bike
And left without a sound

Keep on riding, Sir
Open up the door and shout it out
Lassie come home, come home

This was authentic you, she spoke
This was authentic you who blew
Who blew me cold
I had no chance to realize
It hit him straight between the eyes
So I′ve been told

Lonely girl
Dancing in the music hall
Lightning struck her silver starship
And turned it into stone
And now he′s falling all the time
Into that void beyond her grey eyes
Somewhere a telephone is ringing
But nobody's at home


Hello, junkie sweetheart
Listen now, this is your captain calling
The captain is dead

Keep on riding Sir
Open up the door and shout it out, shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out

Lassie come home
Lassie come home
(Oooh) Lassie come home
Lassie come home
Lassie come home (falling all the time)
(Oooh) Lassie come home
Lassie come home
Lassie come home
This is your captain calling, the captain calling
Lassie come home
Lassie come home
(Oooh, just straight between the eyes)
Yeah
(Oooh) come home
We′re falling all the time
(Oooh, come home)
(Oooh, Lassie come home)
(Oooh, yeah, oooh, come home)
