He's back our old dear friend    The crack of her whip won't be heard again    And so now we'll sing (sing)    To him and what he has been through       Chorus:       Back to where it all began    Back to where we used to stand    Back to the boys the benders all again    Back to drinking with his friends    Back to forgetting to ring them back    Back to laughing all about that    Back to taking your pride right off her shelf    Back to doing it yourself          When we're together we're still now still alone    Your woman is who you're with calling you on the phone    Excuses broad excuses you use to ease your mind    It didn't take long no it didn't take long to steal your mind       I remember when in 82 when we were half of ten    You didn't care about the pair you were fair now do it again    And now you're caught and now your mind is all forgot    She's packed your bags you're on the boat I'm watching from the dock       Chorus       As the rope gets tighter as the rope takes another pull    I see your breath get shorter no more breath and now you fall    Long since long since the decision has been yours    It makes no sense the sense you make now who's it for       I know what you wanna be I know what you have to be    I know that when you chose this world your mind your time it can't be free    But I know yu feel the sting and I know just one more thing    Well now you're back and it's a fact so let's get up get up and sing. . .       Chorus
