Prodigal Son
The towers came down and the mess that they made
Left a pathway of death through lands a half world away
They unleashed the beast then brought him to heel
Sent him back to his home behind bars of steel
The hangman came and unlocked the cage
Since then every day we live takes a year off our age
And the hogs feasted forever
They didn’t share with no-one, no prodigal son
The hogs feasted forever
They didn’t share with no-one, no prodigal son
Don’t like the road of good intentions? Try the bad one sometime
I’ve been sabotaged and double crossed,
I’m punchdrunk and blind
But I know that God’s mercy is mine to know
But I only believe it ‘cause you tell me so
The raconteur is stifled, the magician has no tricks
The third little pig didn’t build his house of bricks
Every human being lifted to the level of a god
Is a miserable self-dealing false healing fraud
And the hogs feasted forever
They didn’t share with no-one, no prodigal son
The hogs feasted forever
They didn’t share with no-one, no prodigal son
Who are you? Who am I? I don’t know
If you find out tell the person that I was long ago
Don’t wanna talk out of turn, don’t wanna create confusion
Tryin’ to get up to speed with the latest illusion
There is no limit to how high you can go
As long as you’re willing to sink down low
The fool is applauded, ignorance gets a hand
Wisdom goes lookin’ through garbage cans
And the hogs feasted forever
They didn’t share with no-one, no prodigal son
The hogs feasted forever
They didn’t share with no-one, no prodigal son
There is no law, there is no rule
There is no common interest, there is no school
There is no leader, no-one’s in charge
There’s not even a detective Sargent-at-large
He’s the king because he’s got no hypocrisy
He’ll still kill you dead but he won’t lie through his teeth
A whirlwind of chaos is spinning through the town
But don’t worry, it’s not gonna knock your house down
In the time of our reckoning we could know God’s reprieve
But we trifle with evil 'cause we truly don’t believe
And the hogs feasted forever
They didn’t share with no-one, no prodigal son
The hogs feasted forever
They didn’t share with no-one, no prodigal son

Lonely Traveler
I am a lonely traveler
Travellin’ through this world of pain
Got no mother, got no father
I’m on the midnight train
I have wandered, I have squandered
Treated the first as if it was the last
And I never knew where I was goin’
That’s what it’s like when you’re runnin’ from the past
Come and find me, come remind me
For someday you may be
A lonely traveler like me
I went down to the market
Where I could not sell my wares
So I did what a wise friend told me
Kicked the dust off my feet and left it there
Got no money, got no papers
Got no lifetime warranty
But I remember every note of
Every song the goldfinch sang to me
Come and find me, come remind me
For someday you may be
A lonely traveler like me
In the morning I am roaming
For the law gives me no rest
To the corner where the shadows gather
Of the outcasts that I know the best
The seasons are my master
I live by their rise and fall
And these creatures that hover ‘round me
Are they angels or vultures, and does it matter after all?
Come and find me, come remind me
For someday you may be
A lonely traveler like me
Packin’ up my few possessions
Headin’ to another town
No-one waits for me to get there
No-one waves good-bye from where I’m bound
Come and find me, come remind me
For someday you may be
A lonely traveler like me
I am a lonely traveler
Travellin’ through this world of pain
Got no mother, got no father
I’m on the midnight train
