The Pilgrim |
| See him wasted on the sidewalk |
| In his jacket and his jeans |
| Wearing yesterday’s misfortunes like a smile |
| Once he had a future full of money, love and dreams |
| Which he spent like they was going out of style |
| Then he keeps right on a changing |
| For the better or the worse |
| Searching for a shrine he’s never found |
| Never knowing if believing is a blessing or a curse |
| Or if the going up was worth the coming down |
| He’s a poet |
| He’s a picker |
| He’s a prophet |
| He’s a pusher |
| He’s a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he’s stoned |
| He’s a walking contradiction |
| Partly truth and partly fiction |
| Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home |
| He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars |
| And he’s traded in tomorrow for today |
| Running from his devils, lord |
| Reaching for the stars |
| Losing all his loves along the way |
| But if this world keeps right on turning |
| For the better or the worse |
| All he ever gets is older and around |
| From the rocking of the cradle |
| To the rolling of the hearse |
| The going up was worth the coming down |
| He’s a poet |
| He’s a picker |
| He’s a prophet |
| He’s a pusher |
| He’s a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he’s stoned |
| He’s a walking contradiction |
| Partly truth and partly fiction |
| Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home |
| There’s a lot of wrong directions on that lonely way back home |
