Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced that Tyler couldn't go to the meeting He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce and she ran inside a weaving She got to her room and tear-splashed a picture of her 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 and 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 to touch him Maybe he'd see that she was free and talk to her this Sunday 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 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 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 Then Sally got lost as the police passed the crowd back in a rage Soon the atmosphere was cooler and Tommy gave a lesson Sally just had to let him know she loved him and left up on the rostrum She ran across stage to the spotlit figure and brushed him on the face Tommy wore round as a uniformed man threw her off the stage 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 A cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down mingling with her tears Tommy carried on preaching and his voice filled Sally's ears She caught his eye she had to try but he couldn't see through the lights Her face was gashed and the ambulance man had to carry her out 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 Ooh! Sixteen stitches put her right in a dash said don't say I didn't warn ya 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 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
