    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...
    For 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

    But you won't
    Kelly says she could have
    Like a bat out of hell
    Time has come for you
