Homecoming King

On your way to the best years of your life
Everyone's banging on their gongs
The sooner you leave, the sooner you're home

Back in Massachusetts
To your golden age
Where they tuck you in at night

You didn't see it comin'
Now who ya gonna wave to?
Cause this time,
You're not homecoming king

Did you hear that?
Have you heard that sound before?
Do you even know where it is coming from?
It's getting too loud
It keeps on pushing you out
Into the arms of 1994

You didn't see it comin'
Now who ya gonna wave to?
Cause this time,
You're not homecoming king
You're not homecoming king

You stand on your own
Was it what you hoped at all?
Do you still recall it?
You givin' dead arms in the hall
Stay right where you are
You'll be half of who you were
When you always would win
So count the days till you give in

Back to Massachusetts
To your golden age
Where your crown is shining bright

You didn't see it comin'
Now who ya gonna wave to?
Cause this time,
You're not homecoming king

You didn't see it comin'
Now who ya gonna wave to?
Cause this time,
You're not homecoming king
You're not homecoming king
