[Intro:]  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 n*o 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 short *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 this time your mind 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]
