Going Home Songtext / Lyric

I love to speak with Leonard

He's a sportsman and a shepherd

He's a lazy bastard

Living in a suit



But he does say what I tell him

Even though it isn't welcome

He just doesn't have the freedom

To refuse



He will speak these words of wisdom

Like a sage, a man of vision

Though he knows he's really nothing

But the brief elaboration of a tube



Going home without my sorrow

Going home sometime tomorrow

Going home to where it's better

Than before






Going home without my burden

Going home behind the curtain

Going home without the costume

That I wore



He wants to write a love song

An anthem of forgiving

A manual for living

With defeat



A cry above the suffering

A sacrifice recovering

But that isn't what I need him

To complete



I want him to be certain

That he doesn't have a burden

That he doesn't need a vision



That he only has permission

To do my instant bidding

Which is to say what I have told him

To repeat



Going home without my sorrow

Going home sometime tomorrow

Going home to where it's better

Than before



Going home without my burden

Going home behind the curtain

Going home without this costume

That I wore



Going home without my sorrow

Going home sometime tomorrow

Going home to where it's better

Than before



Going home without my burden

Going home behind the curtain

Going home without this costume

That I wore



I love to speak with Leonard

He's a sportsman and a shepherd

He's a lazy bastard

Living in a suit
