[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
