lyrics

Long Walk Back Home – by Andy Jackson
 
Just had himself one too many to drive, And public transport has all stopped for the night,
The phantom wings feel so heavy on his back, Yet he drags them along on his long walk back home.
 
Drag, drag your wings along on the long walk back home.
 
The satellite stars silently cross the sky, There’s an occasional gust from the trucks passing by,
The emotional burdens don’t cut him any slack, and his old leather jacket weighs heavy on his back,
From across the valley they can all hear him moan, as he mumbles alone on the long walk back home
 
Moan, grumble and groan, on the long walk back home
 
A field to allow his bare feet to calm down, He hasn’t had his shoes since he exited town,
The grass feels so slimy between his bare toes, He had been pretty sure that he had worn clothes,
But now naked he stands and stares at the stars, No longer can he hear the passing by cars,
A strange light descends from just above his head, not like the reading light that sits by his bed,
A force from somewhere else won't leave him alone, blocking his path on the long walk back home
 
Block, blocking his path, on the long walk back home.
 
From the light stepped a being of glorious stature, with magnificence that simple words fail to capture,
Telepathically explaining the meanings of life, the reasons for loving, the troubles, the strife,
Our man drops to the floor and begins to cry, he's asks the being to please explain why,
He had been chosen, he wasn't trying to be rude, but why tell him this while he's in the nude?
The being explained that just between us, men take information direct through the penis,
So bowing his head and clutching his tool, he wandered with the being on the long walk back home,

Holding, holding his tool, on the long walk back home

Now it seems to be morning and the birds are awake, Time has gone missing to hangover headache,
No one will believe him or his tale of wonder, The light was the lightning and the sound was the thunder,
But no matter what's said, he always knows, that in the stars somewhere that being has his clothes
To keep itself warm while along, on it's long flight back home,

Long, long, long flight back home.
