Welcome Home

Well, well, well!
If it isn't Henry!
Don't be such a stranger, old buddy!
It's been so long since you came back home

I know you're seein', but not believin'
A picture's worth a thousand words, and look who's holding the pen
You let me out of my cel
And all the ink's run out of the well

I know you're frightened, but hey just lighten up
How else ya gonna see the shadows in the corner of your eyes?
We've got a killer surprise
It's our thanks for all of your lies

Springin' from the posters and the reel on the tape
A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate
And all the years you left us rotting here
With nothing but rejection made us bitter and cold
(So give us what we're owed!)
I got a million things to say to someone like you
Now answer to all of your selfish deeds
We are the ones you left behind, you put us out of mind
You can't rewind, it's far too late for that now
Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you'll last
'Cause it's a hell of a show
And you're in the front row
Oh, Henry, welcome home!
You've been away for far too long

No longer sketches, distorted wretches
How could so much have happened since you left so long ago
Well, buddy don'tcha know
You're gonna reap what you have sown

Maybe if you blink you'll see it's all in your head
But while your eyes are closed, you might just wind up dead
So make a choice and hope that I
Don't hear your voice 'cause I'm a-comin'
It's the end of the line
(You can't erase this time!)
I got a million memories of agony and pain
Sent down the drain like all the other drafts
Ya thought you really got away, but now it's time to pay
It's judgement day, I'll have the final laugh
Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you'll last
'Cause it's a Hell of a show
And you're in the front row
Oh, Henry, welcome home!
You've been away for far too long

And now as the curtains finally close
You'll see the result of what you chose
Did it have to go this way?
Maybe if you'd only stayed
All this tragedy could have been prevented, but
Springin' from the posters and the reel on the tape
A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate
And all the years you left us rotting here
With nothing but rejection made us bitter and cold
(Now give us what we're owed!)
I got a million things to say to someone like you
Now answer to all of your selfish deeds
We are the ones you left behind, you put us out of mind
You can't rewind, it's far too late for that now
Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you'll last
'Cause it's a hell of a show
And you're in the front row
Oh, Henry, welcome home!
You've been away for far too long
Welcome home!
You've been away for far too long
Welcome home!
You've been away for far too long!
