lyrics

The years I spent fishin' and trying to get away
My life spent bitchin' it's never been the same
The grimace grow guides and shows my grotesque ways
The journey of a simple man fleeing the town today

Last call for orpheus
Last call on wheel
You can tell old mama that I'll find my way
But I aint comin' home again

The sun scorches me a cigarette, and I've been dealt a spade
It'll only be a little bit until I get to the center stage
The crow he whistles, he carries thistle, and I'm behind his tail
He's not like a snake, the path he takes, I must take as well
Fallen trees, brown colored leaves, obstruct the trail
The symphony sings a threnody, I can tell we're almost there

Last call for orpheus
Last call on wheel
You can tell old mama that I'll find my way
But I aint comin' home again

Now I'm amongst the twilight, though the clouds take up the sky
A torch man addresses me, the bright flame it blinds my eyes
He called right this way, we've awaited you, the train hasn't left the track
We've got a long ride ahead of us, and you know there's no turning back
It may be night, yet it sure is bright straight ahead
All the stress is over now, I close my eyes for bed

Last call for orpheus
Last call on wheel
You can tell old mama that I'll find my way
But I aint comin' home again

Last call for orpheus
Last call on wheel
You can tell old mama that I'll find my way
But I aint comin' home again

But I ain't comin' home again
No I ain't comin' home again
Cause I ain't comin' home again
