GSee him wasted on a sideGwalk in his jacket and his jeaGns
Wearing Cyesterday's misfortunes like a smilGe.
COnce he had a future, full of moneGy,love, and dEmreams,
CWhich he spent,like they were going out of styDle.
GAnd he keeps right on a changin fGor the better or the worsGe,
CAlway searchin for the shrine he's never fouGnd.
CNever knowin if believein was a bleGssing or a cuEmrse,
CAnd if the going up was wDorth the coming dowGn.
[CHORUS]
C (speak) G (speak)
He's a poet, "he's a picker", He's a prophet "he's a pusher"
CHe's a pilgrim and a preacher, andG a problem when he's stoEmned.
CHe's a walkin contradiction, partlyG truth but mostly fictiEmon,
Ctakin every wrong direction, on his lDonely way back homGe.
G G G
GHe has tasted good and evil, iGn your bedroom and your barG,
CAnd he's traded in tomorrow for todaGy.
CRunning from his devils lord and Greachin for the staEmrs,
Cand losin all he loves along the wDay.
GBut this world keeps right on turnin, fGor the better or the worsGe
CAnd all he ever gets is older and arouGnd. From the rCockin of the cradle to
the Grollin of your hearEmse, the gCoin up is woDrth the coming dowGn.
[REPEAT CHORUS]
There's a loDt of wrong direction on your lonely way back hoGme
