Tikka - Scott Helman

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Yeah, I’m walking to your house, and it’s kinda cold, but I don’t mind

Cause the last beer I had warmed me up

And I’m on sort of Main Street singing Johnny Cash

And I almost get hit by a car, and tell this dude to fuck off

And he rolls down his window, and he’s got this weird mustache, and I laugh

He turns around, and I run, and I get lost

But I find my way back, and I see the street light

I see McNally Avenue, and I get excited

I see a hedge, and a house, and a hall light, I get nervous, and knock, and wait

Yeah, I picked up a few things on the way

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

I got a tikka masala

That’s the right idea

I got a gram, and 10 dollars

That’s the right idea

And I’m outside your window, and nobody’s home

But I got the right idea

(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)

I’m gonna call ya' tomorrow

That’s the right idea

I can’t wait any longer

Should be good to see ya'

Now I’m outside your window, and nobody’s home

But I got the right idea

I’m gonna leave now, cause your neighbor’s looking at me like a Russian Spy

She’s peeking out the window

I take the back streets, and behind

Your house, and this kid walks up to me, and asks if I got a light

I say «I don’t know, man, I don’t even know where I’m going»

I end up at the elementary school where we played when we were kids

But you told me not to hopscotch, cause that’s what girls did

And I sit on the woodchips thinking «I'll smoke away my stash»

Cause you’re out there somewhere, and I’m here alone

And that’s that

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

I got a tikka masala

That’s the right idea

I got a gram, and 10 dollars

That’s the right idea

And I’m outside your window, and nobody’s home

But I got the right idea

(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)

I’m gonna call ya' tomorrow

That’s the right idea

I can’t wait any longer

Should be good to see ya'

Now I’m outside your window, and nobody’s home

But I got the right idea

For all these plans that failed, I gave myself the road

It’s not so bad, my good intentions give me hope

One of these nights, I’ll come around and

And you’ll meet me at the door

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

I’m prepared to wait, so just take your time

We’ll get it figured out a little farther down the line

One of these nights, I’ll come around and say

«Baby, I picked up a few things on the way»

I got a tikka masala

That’s the right idea

I got a gram, and 10 dollars

That’s the right idea

And I’m outside your window, and nobody’s home

But I got the right idea

(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)

I’m gonna call ya' tomorrow

That’s the right idea

I can’t wait any longer

Should be good to see ya'

Now I’m outside your window, and nobody’s home

But I got the right idea
