lyrics

See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
Wearing yesterday's misfortunes like a smile
Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams,
Which he spent like they was going outta style
And he kept right on changing
For the better or the worse,
Searching for a shrine he never found
Never knowing if believing is a blessing or a curse,
Or if the going up was worth the coming down
He's a poet, he's a picker
He's a prophet, he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher,
and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walking contradiction,
Partly truth and partly fiction,
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
He has tasted good and evil
In your bedrooms and your bars,
And he traded in tomorrow for today
Running from his devils, lord, and reaching for the stars,
And losing all he loved along the way
But the world it kept on turning
For the better or the worse,
And all he ever got was older and around
From the rocking of the cradle
to the rolling of the hearse,
The going up was worth the coming down
He's a poet, he's a picker
He's a prophet, he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher,
And a problem when he's stoned
He's a walking contradiction,
Partly truth and partly fiction,
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
There's a lot of wrong directions on that lonely way back home.
