Tennis lyrics

In the morning madness and the stabbing light

She pours the coffee and she says

What was wrong with you last night?

Dreams, just dreams my love, were half asleep

But the headlines on tennis

So it seems, everything’s all right

There’s a girl from the Midwest, with a pretty face

Scratched where it itched, they said it was a disgrace

I don’t wanna go to work today

Wanna stay at home and watch that girl play

Do you like tennis?

Yes I do

There are people in boats in the middle of the sea

Crying and dying like Jews

Do you like tennis?

Freedom is the man with the red grenade

She rans out of gas, got beat and raped

Do you like tennis?

Well do you like tennis?

Yes I do
