Lost and Found

I always wanted to be someone else

It always seemed to me the way to be

A name in my life seemed to be less

I've changed it so many times, I forget

But the man at the Century Cafe says

Stop fooling yourself like I once did

I was a star once, yes indeed

But I forgot just who I was

People asking for too much

'Til I couldn't tell for sure

Said there's a man sleeping it off in the alleyway

Sleeping 'neath the air duct on a ten-below winter day

It makes her stomach turn and she runs away

She calls a police man and has him run off

But what you don't understand is he was once in your shoes

Thinking like no one does, how you'll never lose

Slowly slipping, inching towards the booth

He's just another man you've seen

No different from you and me

Just misplaced a dream or two

Not everyone was born with a golden crutch

So if you don't give a helping hand, do me this much

Don't laugh or scorn to being with your friends

'Cause you might just be lying there in the end

This is what the old man said

Days before he met the dead

Lost and found and lost again

He was lost and found and lost again

He was lost and found and lost again

He was lost and found and lost again

He was lost and found and lost again
