Sweet Adonis

SWEET ADONIS

by Caroel King & David Palmer

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 back, my old friend

I'm glad to see you made it through your contests once again

Welcome nome, sweet Adonis

You 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, tehir 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

Welcoem home, sweet Adonis

Your highway's found an end

Welcome home, sweet Adonis, welcome home
