Marco’s back from paradise,
and he wasn’t even gone so long
Came crashing back through the stratosphere
when he realized where he belonged
They were wondering down on Earth
where the chap had gone,
why he wasn’t chilling in the parking lot
with the good old boys back home
He didn’t bother explaining where he’d been
with the hunger in his heart;
Said, “Hey guys it’s hard to keep afloat
when the world’s pullin you apart!”
They laughed and clowned and pulled his hair,
broke bottles in the Night
(nobody wants to go back home,
we’d all rather just stay outside.)
So the skyline kept us company
Until the morning came,
Then back to the union bosses in daytime,
where the hard reality reigns.
Marco’s back from paradise, and
he knows he did the right thing;
This world’s not done with him yet
He thought to himself
with a wolfish grin.
