Welcome Home

Well, well, well!

If it isn't Henry!

Don't be such a stranger, old buddy!

It's been so long since you came back home

I know you're seein', but not believin'

A picture's worth a thousand words, and look who's holding the pen

You let me out of my cel

And all the ink's run out of the well

I know you're frightened, but hey just lighten up

How else ya gonna see the shadows in the corner of your eyes?

We've got a killer surprise

It's our thanks for all of your lies

Springin' from the posters and the reel on the tape

A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate

And all the years you left us rotting here

With nothing but rejection made us bitter and cold

(So give us what we're owed!)

I got a million things to say to someone like you

Now answer to all of your selfish deeds

We are the ones you left behind, you put us out of mind

You can't rewind, it's far too late for that now

Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you'll last

'Cause it's a hell of a show

And you're in the front row

Oh, Henry, welcome home!

You've been away for far too long

No longer sketches, distorted wretches

How could so much have happened since you left so long ago

Well, buddy don'tcha know

You're gonna reap what you have sown

Maybe if you blink you'll see it's all in your head

But while your eyes are closed, you might just wind up dead

So make a choice and hope that I

Don't hear your voice 'cause I'm a-comin'

It's the end of the line

(You can't erase this time!)

I got a million memories of agony and pain

Sent down the drain like all the other drafts

Ya thought you really got away, but now it's time to pay

It's judgement day, I'll have the final laugh

Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you'll last

'Cause it's a Hell of a show

And you're in the front row

Oh, Henry, welcome home!

You've been away for far too long

And now as the curtains finally close

You'll see the result of what you chose

Did it have to go this way?

Maybe if you'd only stayed

All this tragedy could have been prevented, but

Springin' from the posters and the reel on the tape

A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate

And all the years you left us rotting here

With nothing but rejection made us bitter and cold

(Now give us what we're owed!)

I got a million things to say to someone like you

Now answer to all of your selfish deeds

We are the ones you left behind, you put us out of mind

You can't rewind, it's far too late for that now

Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you'll last

'Cause it's a hell of a show

And you're in the front row

Oh, Henry, welcome home!

You've been away for far too long

Welcome home!

You've been away for far too long

Welcome home!

You've been away for far too long!
