Shine on, prodigal son.
Gotta have your morning glory
Keep on having your fun
It'll be the same old story soon.
Soon it will be afternoon
Sun getting hot as a fire
Never mind.
Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
It's Afternoon, afternoon
Burn on, celestial star
Burn away the times that find you
Move on wherever you are
Do you think no one will find you here
You won't have nothing to fear
The time is slipping away, day by day
CHORUS
SOLO
Shine bright prodigal son
Rushed off to your happy ending
Good night, celestial one
No use wasting time pretending now
Now that you've grown in each vow
Heading your time and your face?
Losing race
CHORUS
