Outside the house Mr. Simpson announcedThat Sally couldn't go to the meetingHe went on cleaning his blue Rolls RoyceAnd she ran inside weepingShe got to her room, and tears splashed the pictureOf the new MessiahShe picked up the book of her father's lifeAnd threw it on the fire[Chorus]She knew from the startDeep down in her heartThat she and Tommy were worlds apartBut her mother said, "Never mind, your partIs to be what you'll be."The theme of the sermon was 'Come unto me,Love will find a way',So Sally decided to ignore her dadAnd sneak out anywayShe spent all afternoon getting readyAnd decided she'd try to touch himMaybe he'd see that she was freeAnd talk to her this Sunday[Chorus]SongtexteShe arrived at six, and the place was swingingTo gospel music by nineGroup after group appeared on the stageAnd Sally just sat there cryingShe bit her nails, looking pretty as a pictureRight in the very front rowAnd then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badgeRan on and said, "Here we go!"The crowd went crazyAs Tommy hit the stageLittle Sally got lost as the police bossedThe crowd back in a rageBut soon the atmosphere was coolerAs Tommy gave a lessonSally just had to let him know she loved himAnd leapt up on the rostrumShe ran cross stage to the spotlit figureAnd touched him on the faceTommy whirled around as a uniformed manThrew her off the stage[Chorus]Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled downMingling with her tearsTommy carried on preachingAnd his voice filled Sally's earsShe caught his eye, she had to tryBut couldn't see through their lightsHer face was gashed, and the ambulance menHad to carry her out that nightThe crowd went crazyAs Tommy left the stageLittle Sally was lost for the price of a touchAnd a gash across her face, ohSixteen stitches put her right, and her dad said"Don't say I didn't warn you."Sally got married to a rock musicianShe met in CaliforniaTommy always talks about the dayThe disciples all went wildSally still carries a scar on her cheekTo remind her of his smile[Chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
