Captain Shade is in the park again
He's dying in the dark again
Me and Yolanda crying in the hotel room
Take my heart though it's insane
Too much love and too much pain

And if we could hold on to this fading day
Could we be the ones who find our way
Past the blood and the bleach to something true
Could we come home soon

I wanna come home soon
I wanna come home soon
Reach for me, I'll reach for you
I wanna come home soon

Old Shade he threw his soul away
Now he's made of thirst and Tanqueray
Well I'm packing up mine for the road again
From the twisted joints of Chicopee
And through the acid streets of Venice Beach

And if we could hold on to this fading day
Could we be the ones who find our way
Past the blood and the bleach to something true
Could we come home soon

I wanna come home soon
I wanna come home soon
Reach for me, I'll reach for you
I wanna come home soon
Reach for me, I'll reach for you
I wanna come home soon
