Poem
I walked into the wasteland with no shoes upon my feet
And I vowed to reinvent myself for everyone I'd meet
I left behind Madonna with her fingers on the phone
As I wandered in the wilderness just hoping to atone
With my long lost companions by my side
My bad sense of humor and my last bit of pride

Well I met a bitter angel with a melancholy look
And I asked her to remember me in the pages of her book
She laughed and turned away just when I thought she might oblige
But she left me with her memories and a little slice of pie
Abused but unaffected, I'm reborn
To turn my back on Providence and my collar to the storm

I pulled my one-way ticket out
The one that you knew all about
And cashed it with just a passing glance
I waited for another sign
Some other way to pass the time
But only wasted one more second chance

I took the road less traveled with the whirlwind at my back
And the taste of misadventure covered all my crooked tracks
I met a dozen strangers with their backs against the wall
And their ears against the sidewalk just in case someone should call
Waiting for the headlights and the sound
Of the drawbridge getting higher and the kingdom coming down

So I looked in that direction when I thought no one would know
But I found myself in winter with my face beneath the snow
When I reached up for the surface I felt something start to give
And I grabbed the smoking embers of the way we used to live
With nothing between me and going home
And nothing left to do except to roll away the stone

It's crazy but it's true.

I stepped out of the darkness to find everybody home
And I waited for rebellion that I knew would never come
I felt the many traces of the road I left behind
So many different faces that I knew had once been mine
But every one was someone that they knew
The bitter and the righteous and the one I save for you

And so I stand before you now
A little lost, I don't know how
But all this madness is not lost on you
So you just smile and take me in
And pay the wages of my sin
And turn the page just like you always do

It's crazy but it's true.
