The bridge by the school is empty and bare.
If you follow me, I can take you there.
To a werewolf party, but nobody came.
We took off all our clothes when it started to rain.
And I wanted to stay.
You handed me a box for my everyday use.
But at the bottom of the box was a lit fuse.
I ran for the country with my alligator boots.
I’d do whatever it takes to get loose.
“Don’t close your eyes.” I said, I said.
“Don’t close your eyes”. You said, “I just need to rest.”
No one knows death like a hospital bed.
And I always want to ask it for advice,
But I can’t.
The south side stores have been closed for years.
In my first car, I used to roll over there.
The girls around here have criminal minds,
In my sleep, I’m kind enough to rewind.
But I can’t go to bed until I clean up the yard.
52 plastic cups and a library card
The skipper was dressed up like Captain Piccard
I could laugh but I’m tired and all this work is a drag
So let’s kick it into gear.
Welcome home.
We haven’t seen you in nearly a thousand years
Welcome home.
And the show is just about to begin again.
Welcome Home.
