They said the hand of God delivered the blow But all that I know, It wasn't him that nearly killed you I let you down, I never carried you home I left you alone, To fend there for yourself
I see you out sometimes enjoying the square Your mothers are with faces filled with sadness For all that you gained, You still look hungry & weak When I speak, I'll remember where I'm from
Well, it's a long way back to the midway It's a long way back to the school It's a long way back to the Coliseum When we had faces, Jude When we had faces, Jude
I heard they filled your head with story's of joy Said I could destroy, The good things laid before you I worked it out, But knew that you would never hear It's strange how a year, Can cancel out a life
Well, it's a long way back to the midway It's a long way back to the school It's a long way back to the Coliseum When we had faces, Jude When we had faces, Jude
Sometimes I go back, but I never stay Just wasting away, The world that we grew up in One day you will see me down on the Street And when you hear me speak You'll remember where you're from
