《The Comeback》歌词

[00:00:00] The Comeback - Pain

[00:00:08] He was a drunk

[00:00:09] He was a punk-a** useless slob

[00:00:11] And he didn't even wanna get a job

[00:00:13] He'd forgotten how to be himself

[00:00:16] They say the world is a stage

[00:00:18] And every man must play his part

[00:00:20] But he didn't make the call-back list

[00:00:21] He had a five o'clock shadow on his heart

[00:00:23] He was so weak

[00:00:24] He couldn't even make a fist to punch himself

[00:00:36] She came along

[00:00:37] And right away he felt a little less wrong

[00:00:39] Subsequently just a little more strong - This anomaly flipped his lid

[00:00:44] He checked his hair

[00:00:45] And smoothed out the ruffles in his shirt

[00:00:47] Because he suddenly remembered how to flirt

[00:00:49] He took a Tic-Tac (he knew it wouldn't hurt )

[00:00:51] He put his lips on yellow alert

[00:00:54] And he said "Hello how are you "

[00:00:56] And he shook her little hand

[00:00:57] (Whoa )

[00:01:01] (Whoa )

[00:01:05] (Whoa )

[00:01:06] These days he don't know

[00:01:07] That much about much but here's his summary:

[00:01:10] God is great the devil is bad

[00:01:12] And somewhere in the middle there's you and me

[00:01:15] In the wreckage and the ruin (standing side by side)

[00:01:19] And they know what they're doin'

[00:01:21] In fact he feels like

[00:01:23] He is finally pulling away from the devil since he met her

[00:01:25] His strength is coming right back like a prodigal son

[00:01:34] Like a prodigal son

[00:01:43] He checked his couch and his pockets

[00:01:44] And his car's ashtray

[00:01:46] And he found enough dinero to pay for things from

[00:01:48] The Goodwill Store like soap and Listerine

[00:01:51] To make him fresh and clean

[00:01:53] And a pretty decent old black comb

[00:01:55] (he found it on the street on his way home)

[00:02:06] He borrowed some SpeedStick

[00:02:07] From the guy in the apartment behind him

[00:02:09] He didn't tell him

[00:02:10] Though I hope he doesn't mind him

[00:02:11] He really shouldn't leave his door unlocked

[00:02:13] Because he also took a pair of his socks

[00:02:16] And a Falco tape

[00:02:17] I'm sure he didn't play it anymore

[00:02:19] Whoa

[00:02:23] Whoa

[00:02:27] Whoa

[00:02:28] Shaved face smooth as onion

[00:02:30] Dressed in out-of-fashion clothes

[00:02:32] Ready for their secret tryst about which everybody knows

[00:02:37] And that's perfectly cool

[00:02:41] He's always been a big fool

[00:02:43] But thanks to her

[00:02:44] He thinks he's finally pulling away from the devil

[00:02:47] He's just begun;

[00:02:47] His strength is coming right back like a prodigal son

[00:02:56] Like a prodigal son

[00:03:29] One step forward two back

[00:03:31] (Plastic loser falling behind)

[00:03:33] One step forward two back

[00:03:35] (No dice he chose the moves that he made)

[00:03:37] One step forward two back

[00:03:39] (No dice he chose the moves that he made)

[00:03:42] And the moves that he made led him away

[00:03:46] Away from the game

[00:03:47] Same old same old but further away

[00:03:52] And he still finds life perplexing

[00:03:53] But he submits his thesis humbly:

[00:03:56] God is great the devil is bad

[00:03:57] And somewhere in the middle there's you and me

[00:04:01] In the wreckage and ruin (standing side by side)

[00:04:04] And they know what they're doin'

[00:04:06] She is the oil can to his tin man

[00:04:08] The extra stuffing to his scarecrow

[00:04:10] The gamma rays to his Incredible Hulk

[00:04:13] (though that sounds crude)

[00:04:14] And he feels like

[00:04:15] He is finally pulling away from the devil since he met her

[00:04:18] I wrote this to express the gratitude of a punk-a** useless dude
