Tommy:
I overwhelm as I approach you
Make your lungs hold breathe inside
Lovers break caresses for me
Love enhanced when I've gone by
You'll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you'll see me
I'm a sensation
They worship me and all I touch
Hazy-eyed they catch my glance
Pleasant shudders shake their senses
My warm momentum
Throws their stance
You'll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you'll see me
I'm a sensation
I leave a trail of rooted people
Mesmerised by just the sight
The few I've touched now are disciples
Love as One, I am the Light...
Soon you'll see me, can't you feel me?
I'm coming...
Send your troubles dancing
He knws the answer
I'm coming
I'm a sensation

Outside the house
Mr. Simpson announced
That Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce
And she ran inside a-weeping.
She got to her room
And tears splashed the picture
Of the new messiah
She picked up a book of her father's life
And threw it on the fire!
She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart.
But her mother said
"Never mind, your part...
Is to be what you'll be..."
The theme of the sermon was
'Come unto me, love will find a way.'
So Sally decided to ignore her dad
And sneak out anyway!
She spent all afternoon getting ready
And decided she'd try and touch him.
Maybe he'll see that she is free
And talk to her this Sunday.
She knew from the start, etc.
She arrived at six
And the place was swinging
To gospel music by nine.
Group after group appeared on the stage
And Sally just sat there crying.
She bit her nails,
Looking pretty as a picture
Right in the very front row.
And then a DJ wearing a blazer
With a badge
Ran on and said "Here we go!"
The crowd went crazy
As Tommy hit the stage!
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
The crowd back in a rage!
But soon the atmosphere was cooler
As Tommy gave a lesson
Sally just had to let him know
She loved him
And leapt up on the rostrum!
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure
And touched him on the face
Tommy whirled around
As a uniformed man
Threw her off the stage.
She knew from the start, etc.
Her cheek hit a chair
And blood trickled down,
Mingling with her tears.
Tommy carried on preaching
And his voice filled Sally's ear.
She caught his eye, she had to try
But couldn't see through the lights.
Her face was gashed
And the ambulance men
Had to carry her off that night.
The crowd went crazy
As Tommy left the stage!
Little Sally was lost
For the price of a touch
And a gash across her face! Ooooh!
Sixteen stitches put her right
And her dad said
"Don't say I didn't warn yer."
Sally got married to a rock musician
She met in California.
Tommy always talks about the day
The disciples all went wild!
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek
To remind her of his smile.
She knew from the start, etc.
