Letra Ballad Of A Comeback Kid de The New Pornographers original

Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid Watch your step as you step down from the podium, returned from the war to a hero's welcome, what's more you just had to win Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience, held captive, the crowd was inactive, it made such perfect sense Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did But you won't, Kelly says she could've (x2) Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you(x3) Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
