(repeat last 2 bars twice) He comes and he goes and he comes and he goes, but he don't
come. Half here, half there, no time to spare, and then he's gone for four long years.
I've got nothing to say to that.

He comes and he goes and he comes and he goes, but he don't come.
And oh will he stay? Maybe he just might, but the next thing you know, he's on the
next flight and i...
I'm on my bike and he's on his train, I guess he's on his way back.
I guess he's on his way back, coming in from the edge of the track.
1...2...1,2,3,4.
He comes and he goes and he comes and he goes, but he don't come.
Half here, half there, no time to spare, and then he's gone for four long years.
I've got nothing to say to that.
I'm on my bike and he's on his train, I guess he's on his way back.
I guess he's on his way back, coming in from the edge of the track.
I got myself into a great big mess, that you wouldn't expect more or less, from a low
class citizen, like me. Got stuck in traffic and i took the shortcut, well i chose that
and i had my laugh well... Then came the day, they put me in this dark place to stay.
And I think of him, I think of him. Whooaaa! I'm on my bike and he's on his train, I guess
he's on his way back. I guess he's on his way back, coming in from the edge of the
track. I'm on my bike and he's on his train, I guess he's on his way back. I hear he's on his
way back, coming in from the edge of the track. He comes and he goes and he comes
and he goes, but he didn't come.
