Flashback Jimmy

Mellow yellow earth-man billows, calling to his congregation
Cut loose, shape up, break free – everything’s gonna be alright
There’s a wild-eyed sky speaking in tongues, down behind Spencer’s yard
Jungle fever seems to be getting to everyone these days - just forgive

He suspends time when he talks, blowing kisses to passers-by as he goes
Caught in the space between the lightening and the rumbling thunder
There’s no sense in keeping quiet about it - he knows what he’s doing alright
Smelling like some cheap hotel room philosopher - what a sense of humour

Sing the light fantastic – break the news
Hand out all the love you can muster – play the blues

Flashback Jimmy holds court in the lobby of the local abattoir - broken promises for everyone
No need to sell tickets when this man’s in town - hit the streets
The tornado struck just about half way down, between Thompson and Fiddler’s
Funny to think now how unusual he became towards the end - what the hell!

Sing the light fantastic – break the news
Hand out all the love you can muster – play the blues
Tokens in his hands – glaring at the sunshine
Feeling like his shoes – hollow like a lifetime

He’s Flashback Jimmy

He went to the mountain and it followed him back without question – who’s joking now?
These dogs of war get down and dirty too often for my liking - get high – eat shit!
He’s never happy when it comes to the best of things - days and days and days and days
The cool breeze calms only the most extreme trauma - where does the time go

Tokens in his hands – glaring at the sunshine

He’s Flashback Jimmy

Feeling like his shoes – hollow like a lifetime

He’s Flashback Jimmy - He’s Flashback Jimmy
He’s Flashback Jimmy - He’s Flashback Jimmy
He’s Flashback Jimmy - He’s Flashback Jimmy
He’s Flashback Jimmy
