Roger Waters Lyrics

Album: Amused to Death

Late Home Tonight, Part II Lyrics

Hark, the wire service sing

Clear the satellite link

Check the fax machine

Hold the lead story boys

There's some great pictures coming in

Now the pilot's heartbeat slows

Palms dry out

No questions only orders

And the F-1 glides in nose-up

Through the cloudbase and the

Ground crew cheers as he puts down

His landing gear

Hey boy, you're a hero

Take this cigar

And back home in Cleveland

All the papers and the local TV stations

Will be calling your ma

And the farmer's wife

Shoos the cat off the chair

She says sit down my dear

Was the milking all right

Our American friends are late home tonight
