COMEBACK KID (9 Lives)

give me some action
give me some news
I'm all burned down
with these ancient blues
time's an illusion
my eyes are playing tricks on me
I'm the comeback kid
I just came back too soon
born premature
beneath the harvest moon
I've spent nine lives
messing with this mystery

give me some snakeskin
give me some dust
give me just one person
I can trust
give me one reason
not to end it all tonight
I'm the comeback kid
I just came back too soon
born premature
beneath the harvest moon
I've spent nine lives
trying to get the rhythm right

I was born in Persia
I was born in Rome
born in Mississippi
but I have no home
I'm a dirt poor drifter
blowing through your town
I'm the comeback kid
I just came back too soon
born premature
beneath the harvest moon
I've spent nine lives
tracking my true love down

so give me a thrill
baby give me a kiss
give me another shot
at something I missed
some mojo I misplaced
back down the line
I'm the comeback kid
I just came back too soon
born premature
beneath the harvest moon
I've spent nine lives
trying to reclaim what's mine

but baby tonight before I go
let's make it you and me
maybe we could catch a show
there's a movie playing downtown
I'm literally dying to see


give me some poetry
before I explode
wish me luck
give me one for the road
I'm tired of waiting
I'm jacked up and ready to ride
I'm the comeback kid
I just came back too soon
born premature
beneath the harvest moon
I've spent nine lives
sliding for the other side
