Back To Earth

(albüm: American Lesion - 1997)

he wakes with the glow of adventure and hope
the morning smells sweet and replete with opportunity
he dressed into another day feeling lucky to be alive
though nobody follows him he's sure his future is bright

bring him back
someone's going to have to bring him back to earth
he's getting out of hand
his alacrity for life is more than people stand

oooohhhhh bring him back to earth

discipline and toil, well lit made her blood boil
the finer things were impatient waiting discovery
like a bird in spring the sun made her sing
with seeming inattention she was on to other things

bring her back
someone's going to have to bring her back to earth
she's way too high
her alacrity for life ain't going to help her get by

ooohhhh bring her back to earth

who's it going to be?
i can assure you it ain't gonna be me!

bring them back
someone's gonna try and bring them back to land
and i'll be there
to catch them when they fall and send them up again

ooooohhhhh bring 'em back to earth
