It's been a long time coming and it's good to be back

Been in a head on collision with a medicine man

I've been down in the alley where the odds are stacked

Where you drown in your rain, your wind and your sleet
When you're six feet under, down on your feet

It's got to be even tougher, to be you

Hammer on the door, singing "God Save The Queen"

It's been a long time coming and it's good to be back
