A Hero's Welcome

Throw me a line

Let's steer this to safety together

She says it's fine

But it's only a temporary measure

If you don't say a word

And face the other way

The whole thing is absurd

That's all that I can say

I'm trying to be nice

And this is what I get in return

Will we ever learn?

You could be waiting for some recognition

Hoping for the accolade

Heading for some town where they know

Your name

It is a hopeless and pointless charade

Lets throw a dice

And devise a solution together

If you want my advice

Continue your new life of leisure

If you don't say a word

And face the other way

The whole thing is absurd

That's all that I can say

I'm trying to be nice

And this is what I get in return

Will we ever learn?

You could be waiting for this bus forever

Waiting for the fun to begin

Heading for somewhere you could start again

But your excuses will always wear thin

GUITAR SOLO

Will we ever learn?

You could be waiting for some recognition

Hoping for the accolade

Heading for some town where they know

Your name

It is a hopeless and pointless charade

You could be holding out for celebrations

A party upon your return

But you'll never get a hero's welcome home

And that's just something that you have

To learn

But you'll never get a hero's welcome home

And that's just something that you have

To learn

And you'll never get a hero's welcome home

And that's just something that you have

To learn
