[Verse 1]
What are you going to say to me?
Will you be betraying me?
Come the meantimes
Will you be deceiving me?
And beyond believing in me?
Come the meantimes

[Chorus]
He came back (Right back)
And nobody blinked
He came back (Right back)
At least I think that he did
He came back (Right back)
And he ran and he hid
And he muttered and moaned
And said, "Let's go get stoned"

[Verse 2]
Will you be denying me?
Will you still come crying to me
Come the meantimes
Are you still obeying me?
Will you still be praying to me?
Come the meantimes
(Right back) Will you sit in judgment then?
(Right back) Be the first one to condemn
(Right back) Come the meantimes
(Right back) Now you've got nobody else to blame
(Right back) And trouble remembering my name
(Right back) Will you still be cursing me
Come my anniversary?
Come the meantimes

He came back (Right back)
And they followed and failed
He came back (Right back)
He got hammered and nailed
He came back (Right back)
And he wandered alone
They said let's gather some stones
And make them atone

(Right back) Now I'm in a hall of mirrors
(Right back) With my secret thoughts and terrors
(Right back) Come the meantimes
(Right back) And I'm drinking to your health
Find I'm only talking to myself
Come the meantimes

[Chorus]
He came back (Right back)
And nobody blinked
He came back (Right back)
At least I think that he did
He came back (Right back)
And he ran and he hid
And he muttered and moaned
And said, "Let's go get stoned"
[Verse 3]
Blossoms fragrant opening
Poppies full of opium
Come the meantimes
Phony prophets offer hope
That's a different kind of dope
Come the meantimes
Come the meantimes
Come the meantimes

Right now
Right now
Right now

Right now
Right now
Right now

Right now
Right now
Right now
Gather some stones and make them atone

[Outro]
Come the meantimes
(Let's go get stoned)
Come the meantimes
