Lyrics
Prodigal
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.
I don't know whose side I'm on
I don't think that I belong round here
If I left the stage would that be wrong ?
I tried to find myself a better way
I got religion but I went astray
They took my money and I lost my faith
Rain keeps crawling down the glass
The good times never seem to last
Close your eyes and let the thought pass
I tried the capsule and I tried the smoke
I tried to aid escape like normal folk
But I never seemed to get the joke
These are my old clothes
This is a new low
This is my blood flow
This is my headstone
I spend my days with all my friends
They're the ones on who my life depends
I'm gonna miss them when the series ends
Rain keeps crawling down the glass (Pull yourself together)
The good times never seem to last (You know it's not so bad)
Close your eyes and let the thought pass (Close your eyes and let it pass)
