Prodigal Son lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Prodigal Son lyrics Oh can t you feel the nostalgia son I wonder about ya Modernistocrat Horatio Alger Clever never hesitating in the baiting ever waiting For the canticle of manacles abating Do you ever forget - you had a regret - and what you only guessed at Might still be waiting? When the prodigal son with a caroming shadow of hate comes to land at home Well he s a mourning star with a champagne heart at his curtain call And father never understood just how the work gets done Don t look at me, no I ain t one, no prodigal son Don t look at me, no I ain t one, no prodigal son When everybody about - is read to bout you - about controversial values Don t you think you better readdress the level of the cowardice rising to drown you Did you ever connect - or come to reject - or even inspect That dream that hounds you When the prodigal son with a caroming shadow of hate comes to land at home Well he s a mourning star with a champagne heart at his curtain call And father never understood just how the work gets done Don t look at me, no I ain t one, no prodigal son Don t look at me, no I ain t one, no prodigal son When you least expect it he s going to run Like the blood red path of the western sun oh yeah The prodigal son is waiting, waiting for his moment to come Well hell no, don t look at me Can t you see, I ain t one, no prodigal son Don t look at me, no I ain t one, no prodigal son song lyrics
