Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid       Watch your step as you step down from the podium, returned from the war to a hero's welcome, what's more you just had to win    Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience, held captive, the crowd was inactive, it made such perfect sense       Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes    Who knew?

Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did       Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes    Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
