The Comeback

Just got back from the Land of Nod

Casting dreams on a fishing rod

I was tired but now I'm strong

I woke, I rose, I wrote this song

Back once more to entertain you

Here with the bride of the man who loved you

It gets dark and I get restless

Taking and not giving

Always left me breathless

Here again and glad to be here

When pop songs end, why do I feel fear?

When parties die at 3 AM

Why I always have to wind 'em up again?

This is my big comeback

Angel, saboteur, the throwback

Come on, dust off the eight-track

Let me in, let me in

Step right up and hear my story

I've dug ditches on the road to glory

I've painted signs on the path to fame

"Cul de sac," "Turn around," "Don't come this way again"

Some angel dust and a pint of wine

And now I'm holding you and I should be fine

I'll call you when I'm back in town

The sun is cold and it's going down

[refrain]

That's the price I pay

For being foolish

That's the price I pay

For being nameless

That's the price I pay

For being shameless

That's the price I pay

For coming back

I'm coming back

["Hearts" version only (hidden track after 11, "Don't Be Afraid to Sing"):]

Get out of bed

And I need your love
