Like Dominoes

I was riding in an old black Rover
You were sleeping at the bus stop
Didn't see a thing until the night exploded
Just like a picture just like a photograph
Mama warned you this could happen
Never in her wildest dreams did she leave you
Cal! ing

I was sitting on the back porch freezing
You were jawing with the night watch
Didn't know a thing until we lost that feeling
Just like a picture just like a snapshot
She never let you have a losing season
Never in her darkest hour did she leave you
Cal! ing

And when it blows we're gonna fall
Like dominoes you won't believe it's happening
And when it goes they're gonna call
You domino just like I pictured
Just like I pictured it

I was dead to the radio blaring
You were playing at the bypass
Didn't know a thing until the room was clearing
Just like a picture just like a photograph
She never kept any secrets from you
Never in a mil! ion years did she leave you calling

Close as a heartbeat cold as a star
High as the heavens you are
