D5
Oh, can't you feel the nostalgia
I wonder about you
Modernistocrat Horatio Alger
G5
Clever, never hesitating in the baiting
     E5
Ever waiting for the canticle of manacles abating

Did you ever forget
You had a regret?
And what you only guessed at
Might still be
Waiting

           C5                  G5
  When the prodigal son with a caroming shadow of
  D5                    Em
  Hate comes to land at home
               C5                   G5
  Well, he's a mourning star with a champagne heart at his
  D5         !G5
     Curtain call
             C5 b  c c♯ D5                G5    D/F♯  E5
  And father never understood the way the work gets  done

                  A5 (P.M.)             D5               G5  D/F♯  E5
    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

G5   E♭5   G5  g f♯ e D5...  xxxx

When everybody about
Is ready to bout you
About controversial values
Don't you think you'd better readdress the level
Of the cowardice rising to drown you?

Did you ever connect
Or come to reject
Or even inspect
The dreams that
Hound you?

  Refrain  fin: G5 (P.M.)  O-o-o-o-

D5                                      G5
When you least expect it, he's going to run (o-o-o-o-)
D5                                     G5      E5
Like the blood-red path of the western sun, oh yeah

    C5       D5     G5
The prodigal son is waiting
Waiting for his moment to come
C5        D5        G5      E5
Well hell no, don't look at me

    Can't you see, I ain't one, no prodigal son
    It ain't me, no I ain't one, no prodigal son
