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
