Lyrics

[00:10.96] Oh can't you feel the nostalgia son I wonder about ya
[00:13.62] Modernistocrat Horatio Alger
[00:15.40] Clever never hesitating in the baiting ever waiting
[00:18.72] For the canticle of manacles abating
[00:20.99] Do you ever forget - you had a regret -
[00:23.90] and what you only guessed at
[00:25.96] Might still be waiting?
[00:29.90] When the prodigal son with a caroming
[00:32.84] shadow of hate comes to land at home
[00:35.45] Well he's a mourning star with a champagne heart at his curtain call
[00:40.06] And father never understood just how the work gets done
[00:44.63] Don't look at me, no I ain't one, no prodigal son
[00:53.47]
[00:54.23] Don't look at me, no I ain't one, no prodigal son
[01:02.98]
[01:11.48] When everybody about - is read to bout you -
[01:14.66] about controversial values
[01:15.97] Don't you think you better readdress the level
[01:18.87] of the cowardice rising to drown you
[01:21.58] Did you ever connect - or come to reject -
[01:24.56] or even inspect
[01:26.43] That dream that hounds you
[01:30.51]
[01:31.13] When the prodigal son with a caroming
[01:33.40] shadow of hate comes to land at home
[01:36.06] Well he's a mourning star
[01:37.77] with a champagne heart at his curtain call
[01:41.37] And father never understood just how the work gets done
[01:45.61] Don't look at me, no I ain't one,
[01:50.35] no prodigal son
[01:54.83]
[01:55.84] Don't look at me, no I ain't one,
[02:00.21] no prodigal son
[02:02.62]
[02:07.48] When you least expect it he's going to run
[02:17.61] Like the blood red path of the western sun oh yeah
[02:26.82] The prodigal son is waiting, waiting for his moment to come
[02:34.45] Well hell no, don't look at me
[02:41.20] Can't you see, I ain't one, no prodigal son
[02:51.39] Don't look at me, no I ain't one,
[02:55.73] no prodigal son
