Pray for content, settle for free rent, the tenements recall Rome 
High five, look up, look alive, 
As the scions of history guess another mystery 
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
 
Recite your lines, and I'll quote scriptures 
Everything, was fine until membership lost its privileges 
Everyone in town, wanted to be around you 
This went on for awhile until they finally found you 

Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes 
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid 

Watch your step as you step down from the podium, returned from the war to a hero's welcome, What's more you just had to win 
Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience, held captive, the crowd was inactive, it made Such perfect sense 

Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes 
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did 

But you won't, Kelly says she could've
But you won't, Kelly says she could've  

Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you 
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you

Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes 
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did 

Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes 
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
