Blue Flashing Light

Travis

Saturday evening at quarter to five 
I would see him arrive at the door 
Pushed you aside as he stagered inside 
spilling alcohol over the floor 
A storm is a brew it is sure to fall soon 
as I look at you from ashore 
So you'd better hold on 

'cos it's saturday night 
and your friends are all out 

and you feel like shit 
'cos they never called you 

no they never called you 
no they never called, never called 
Never bloody ever 
Call me a name and i'll hit you again 
talk to your dad in that tone of voice 
there's a belt hanging over the door 
so you run to your room, and you hide in your room 
thinking how you could settle the score 

The blue flashing light last saturday night 
brought the neighbours all out on the street 
they watched as the fireman carried you out 
and they stared at each others feet 
everyone sees yet nobody says 
are you all just afraid of the heat 
but it's saturday night 
and i'm lying alone 
and the bed that i made 
disconnected the phone 
still they never call you 
no they never call you 
no they never call, never call 
Never bloody ever call
