Waiting on tables while waiting on fame In a city filled with numbers, they've forgotten their names Like a lonely, broken people without title, without claim When every day's survival is one more night of shame, night of shame Welcome home, sweet Adonis Welcome home, my old friend I'm glad to see you made it through your contests once again Welcome home, sweet Adonis Your heart needs time to mend Welcome home, sweet Adonis, my old friend Hoping for the promise, staying for the show In a world of brief advantage, the victims come and go Their faces seem so honest, their manners have such style Oh, but when hunger means existence There's a feast in every smile, every smile So welcome home, sweet Adonis Welcome back, my old friend I'm glad to see you made it up that hard road once again Welcome home, sweet Adonis Your highway's found an end Welcome home, sweet Adonis, welcome home
