Lyrics
Just got back from the Land of Nod
Returning from a state of sleep or rest.
Casting dreams on a fishing rod
Imagining and pursuing dreams actively.
I was tired but now I'm strong
Feeling rejuvenated and energized now.
I woke, I rose, I wrote this song
Waking up, getting up, and creating a song.
Back once more to entertain you
Returning once again to amuse and delight.
Here with the bride of the man who loved you
Present with the spouse of someone who loved you before.
It gets dark and I get restless
Feeling uneasy as darkness falls.
Taking and not giving
Engaging in one-sided relationships.
Always left me breathless
Taking without reciprocating, leaving breathless.
Here again and glad to be here
Happy to be present once again.
When pop songs end, why do I feel fear?
Feeling fear at the conclusion of popular songs.
When parties die at 3 A.M.
Questioning why social gatherings end at 3 A.M.
Why I always have to wind 'em up again?
Reflecting on the need to revive the energy of parties.
This is my big comeback
Expressing a significant return or resurgence.
Angel, saboteur, the throwback
Describing oneself as a combination of an angel and a saboteur.
Come on, dust off the eight-track
Encouraging the revival of outdated music formats.
Let me in, let me in
Requesting entry or acceptance.
Step right up and hear my story
Inviting attention to one's life experiences.
I've dug ditches on the road to glory
Having faced challenges on the journey to success.
I've painted signs on the path to fame
Creating markers on the path to fame.
"Cul de sac," "Turn around," "Don't come this way again"
Encountering obstacles and warnings on the way.
Some angel dust and a pint of wine
Referring to substances and a positive change.
And now I'm holding you and I should be fine
Feeling content and secure now.
I'll call you when I'm back in town
Promising to reconnect in the future.
The sun is cold and it's going down
Observing the approaching end of the day.
That's the price I pay
Acknowledging the consequences of foolishness.
For being foolish
(Repeated) Accepting the price for being foolish.
That's the price I pay
Acknowledging the consequences of being nameless.
For being nameless
(Repeated) Accepting the price for being nameless.
That's the price I pay
Acknowledging the consequences of being shameless.
For being shameless
(Repeated) Accepting the price for being shameless.
That's the price I pay
Embracing the consequences of coming back.
For coming back
(Repeated) Expressing the act of returning.
I'm coming back
(Repeated) Confirming the return.
