Pray for content, settle for free rent
The tenements recall
RomeHigh five, look up, look alive
As the scions of history, guess another mystery wrong, wrong, 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
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 didBut you won't,
Kelly says, she could have
But you won't,
Kelly says, she could have
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for 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 didEver 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
