What can I say to get through to you
Nothing ever seems to work
I can shout till I'm blue in the face
And go totally berserk
You're like a kid who is blind, deaf and dumb
Playing pinball and chomping on some gum
Tommy can you hear me, can you feel me near you
Tommy can you see me, can I help to cheer you
Tommy can you hear me, can you hear me now
What can I do to break down your wall
To make you see me as I am
If I could say who I thought you were
I'd say you don't give a damn
You're like a kid who was born for peace
When in fact it's just so much caprice
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
What can I do to bring you down
From that cross that you are nailed
Your tiny boat is stuck in port
While the world has sailed
You're like a kid 'round which the world revolves
The camera pulls out and the scene dissolve
