I've been sleeping outside your bedroom door
I've been waiting permission to fight in your private war
I've lost track but still your mother's keeping score
So tell me who is winning and who I'm fighting for
But don't try to seat me in the Loser's Section
Next to the guy who wanted to die whn he failed to pass inspection
Just file my name under "A" for Affection
The only promise I ever made in the House of Rejection
I've gotten too diry out there on the battle field
I lost my sword and was injured when they broke my shield
I should have been captured or better yet even killed
Than to come home empty-handed and expect to be healed
But don't try to seat me in the Loser's Section
Next to the guy who wanted to die whn he failed to pass inspection
Just file my name under "A" for Affection
The only promise I ever made in the House of Rejection
FLUTE SOLO
GUITAR SOLO
The joker has been replaced by a young recruit
He's working his way up the ladder and he's got loot
I hope that he does well although I don't give a hoot
As he pushes aside the picture of us with his brand new polished boot
But don't try to seat me in the Loser's Section
Next to the guy who wanted to die whn he failed to pass inspection
Just file my name under "A" for Affection
The only promise I ever made in the House of Rejection

The Coyote
