==Overview== | |||
"It's Time to Come Home" is known to have been written as early as summer of [[2003]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20040602204345/http://therentals.mattsharp.net/itstimetocomehome.htm]. [[Matt Sharp]] is known to have performed the song live during one of his solo concerts in July of that year, commenting that the song had been recorded about a month earlier, including a piano section written by [[Greg Brown]]. The song was revisited in [[2009]] for the multimedia project ''[[Songs About Time]]'', appearing on the project's second mini-album, also titled ''It's Time to Come Home''. | |||
The song was reworked once more for the Rentals' third proper studio album, ''[[Lost in Alphaville]]'', released in [[2014]]. This version features a new bridge with additional lyrics ("Innocence lost / somewhere in Alphaville..."). | |||

What | What a strange day | ||
Put | Put your head out the doorway | ||
Into the streets where the kids play | |||
A game you used to know | |||
As the day sets | As the day sets | ||
Into the sky, bottle rockets | |||
Mothers are calling | Mothers are calling | ||
It's time to come home | |||
Oh, oh, oh, | Oh, oh, oh, | ||
It's time to come home | |||
Now it's nightfall | Now it's nightfall | ||
You've got plans for nothing at all | |||
Well, who knows who might call? | |||
But then where would you go? | |||
Go into the night life | Go into the night life | ||
Into the dim lights | Into the dim lights | ||
Look for someone who | Look for someone who | ||
Would tell you to come on home | |||
Oh, oh, oh, | |||
It's time to come home | |||
Innocence lost | |||
Somewhere in Alphaville | |||
Inside a dream you are beside me still | |||
When I awake | |||
The dream is over | |||
You're gone, gone, gone | |||
What a strange time | What a strange time | ||
As you flip on your house lights | |||
And you realize | |||
There's no one at home | |||
