[VERSE 2] Surrounded by his friends, he sits so silently and unaware of anything. Playing poxy pinball, picks his nose and smiles, Pokes his tongue at everything I believe in love, but how can men who've never Seen light be enlightened? Only if he's cured will his spirit future level ever heighten.
[Repeat CHORUS] And Tommy doesn't know what day it is. He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is. How can he be saved from the eternal grave?
