Pilgrim (You Can't Go Home) Lyrics
[00:05.46] I won't get drunk no more, no more, the old refrain it shines with use
[00:16.19] While you sop your bread in barley-wine, and mop your floor in tobacco juice
[00:34.37] So they kicked you out of paradise, grinned and locked the garden gate
[00:45.19] What those devils called your greatest sin, Gabriel and I called your great escape
[00:54.54] Where are you gonna run
[01:00.20] Tell me, where will you roam
[01:08.11] When you can't go home
[01:10.50] You can't go home
[01:15.61] Oh, pilgrim, you can't go home
[01:19.62] The gilded cage cannot contain the gypsies of the earth
[01:33.80] The poet and the tumbleweed discuss what rootlessness is worth
[01:46.23] And pity those who never felt inspiration's cold wet nose
[01:54.35] It wakes you up in the ditch where you're tumbling 'round where the four winds blow
[02:07.30] Where are you gonna run
[02:13.12] Tell me, where will you roam
[02:20.22] When you can't go home
[02:22.55] You can't go home
[02:26.52] Oh, pilgrim, you can't go home
[02:33.46] The polaroids of indio show desert flowers entwined
[02:47.40] Their nakedness has already been blasted by the sands of time
[03:00.39] But still you thought you sad Jane would wait for you till who knows when
[03:07.75] But that little girl's got a new tattoo to let you know you can't go home again
[03:22.18] Where are you gonna run
[03:26.59] Tell me, where will you roam
[03:33.15] When you can't go home
[03:35.74] You can't go home
[03:39.84] Oh, pilgrim, you can't go home
[03:47.54] So spin the wheel of St.Columba's and ride his golden calf
[04:27.55] Climb up the silver strings of the mandolin till you can hear the angels laugh
[04:40.68] And if rock and roll is more your thing, go ahead and wear the badge
[04:48.44] Cause chaos needs another king, a pillar of smoke who don't look back
[05:02.21] Where are you gonna run
[05:08.07] Tell me, where will you roam
[05:13.62] When you can't go home
[05:15.12] You can't go home
[05:20.64] Oh, pilgrim, you can't go home
[05:31.06] I'm dirty and torn, my tails hung out, a ship with tattered sails
[05:37.57] Been down and out, around the horn to chase the great white whale
[05:58.69] Across the night and across the day, I save my song for eternity
[06:04.28] Now here I find you gazing out of the window of St. James infirmary
[06:18.22] Where are you gonna run
[06:22.42] Tell me, where will you roam
[06:28.78] When you can't go home
[06:31.08] You can't go home
[06:36.40] Oh, pilgrim, you can't go home
[06:50.40] So keep rollin', rollin' down that road you're on
[07:38.76] Keep rollin', rollin' on, rollin' on
[07:42.53] Keep rollin', rollin' down that road that you're on
[07:46.06] Keep rollin', rollin', rollin' on
[07:51.42]
[00:16.19] While you sop your bread in barley-wine, and mop your floor in tobacco juice
