tikka

helman, scott

yeah i'm walking to your house and it's kind of cold but i don't mind

cause the last beer i had warmed me up and i'm on sort of main street singin' johnny cash and i almost get hit by a car and tell this dude to fuck off and he rolls down his window and he's got this weird mustache and i laugh

he turns around and i run and i get lost but i find my way back

and i see the streetlight

i see mcnalley avenue and i get excited

i see your hedge and your house and the hall light

i get nervous and knock and wait

yeah i picked up a few things on the way

i got a tikka masala

that's the right idea

i got a gram and ten dollars

that's the right idea

and i'm outside your window and nobody's home

but i got the right idea

i'm gonna call ya tomorrow

that's the right idea

i can't wait any longer

sure'd be good to see ya

now i'm outside your window and nobody's home

but i got the right idea

i'm gonna leave now cause your neighbour's lookin at me like a russian spy

she's peekin' out the window

i take the back streets and behind your house this kid walks up to me

and asked if i got a light

i say i don't know

man

i don't even know where i'm goin'

i end up at the elementary school where we played when we were kids but you told me not to hopscotch cause that's what girls did and i sit on the woodchips thinkin' i'll smoke away my stash

cause you're out there somewhere and i'm here alone

and that's that

i got a tikka masala

that's the right idea

i got a gram and ten dollars

that's the right idea

and i'm outside your window and nobody's home

but i got the right idea

i'm gonna call ya tomorrow

that's the right idea

i can't wait any longer

sure'd be good to see ya

now i'm outside your window and nobody's home

but i got the right idea

for all these plans i've failed i gave myself the road

it's not so bad my good intentions give me hope

one of these nights i'll come around and

and you'll meet me at the door

i'm prepared to wait

so just take your time

and we'll get it figured out a little farther down the line

one of these nights i'll come around and say

baby

i picked up a few things on the way

i got a tikka masala

that's the right idea

i got a gram and ten dollars

that's the right idea

and i'm outside your window and nobody's home

but i got the right idea

i'm gonna call ya tomorrow

that's the right idea

i can't wait any longer

sure'd be good to see ya

now i'm outside your window and nobody's home

but i got the right idea
