[Verse 1]
Waiting on tables
While waiting on fame
In a city filled with numbers
They've forgotten their names
Like a lonely, broken people
Without title, without claim
When every day's survival
Is one more night of shame (One more night of shame)
Night of shame

[Chorus]
Welcome home, sweet Adonis
Welcome home, my old friend
I'm glad to see you made it through your contests once again
Welcome home, sweet Adonis
Your heart needs time to mend
Welcome home, sweet Adonis, my old friend

[Verse 2]
Hoping for the promise
Staying for the show
In a world of brief advantage
The victims come and go
Their faces seem so honest
Their manners have such style
Oh, but when hunger means existence
There's a feast in every smile, in every smile
[Chorus]
So welcome home, sweet Adonis
Welcome back, my old friend
I'm glad to see you made it up that hard road once again
Welcome home, sweet Adonis
Your highway's found an end
Welcome home, sweet Adonis, welcome home (Sweet Adonis)
Welcome home, sweet Adonis, welcome home (Sweet Adonis)
Welcome home, sweet Adonis, welcome home (Sweet Adonis)
Welcome home, sweet Adonis, welcome home (Sweet Adonis)
Sweet Adonis
