Homecoming King
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On your way to the best years of your life
Everyone's banging on their gongs
The sooner you leave the sooner
You're home
Back in Massachusetts
To your golden age where they tuck you in at night
You didn't see it coming
Now who you gonna wave to?
Cause this time you're not homecoming king
Did you hear that? Have you heard that sound before?
Do you even know where it is coming from?
It's getting too loud it keeps on pushing you out
Into the arms of 1994
You didn't see it coming
Now who you gonna wave to?
Cause this time you're not homecoming king
You're not homecoming king
You stand on your own
Wasn't what you hoped at all
Do you still recall it
Giving dead-arms in the hall?
Stay right where you are
You'll be half of who you were
When you always would win
So count the days 'til you give in
Back to Massachusets
To your golden age where your crown is shining bright
You didn't see it coming
Now who you gonna wave to?
Cause this time you're not homecoming king
You didn't see it coming
Now who you gonna wave to?
Cause this time you're not homecoming king
You're not homecoming king
