Ballad Of A Comeback Kid |
| Pray for content, settle for free rent, the tenements recall Rome |
| High five, look up, look alive, as the scions of history guess another mystery |
| wrong |
| Recite your lines, and I’ll quote scriptures |
| Everything was fine until membership lost its privileges |
| Everyone in town wanted to be around you, this went on for awhile until they |
| finally found you |
| Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else’s shoes |
| Who knew? |
| Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did, in the ballad of a comeback kid |
| Watch your step as you step down from the podium, returned from the war to a hero’s welcome, what’s more you just had to win |
| Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience, held captive, |
| the crowd was inactive, it made such perfect sense |
| Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else’s shoes |
| Who knew? |
| Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did |
| But you won’t, Kelly says she could have |
| Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you |
