Prodigal Son

Shine on, prodigal son.
Gotta have your morning glory
Keep on having your fun
It'll be the same old story soon.
Soon it will be afternoon
Fun's getting harder to find
Never mind.

Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
(its) Afternoon
Afternoon

Burn on, celestial star
Burn away the ties that bind you
Move on wherever you are
Do you think no one will find you here
You won't have nothing to fear
but time's slipping away
day by day

keep on watching the sky
keep on waiting to die
keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon

Shine bright prodigal son
Rush off to your happy ending
Good night, celestial one
No use wasting time pretending now
Now that you've broken each vow
Hating your time and your space?
Lose that race

keep on watching the sky
keep on waiting to die
keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon
