See him wasted on the sidewalksIn his jacket and his jeansWearing yesterday's misfortunes like a smileOnce he had a future full of money love and dreamsWhich he spent like they was going out of styleAnd he keeps right on a'changingFor the better or the worseSearching for a shrine he's never foundNever knowing if believing is a blessing or a curseOr if the going up was worth the coming downHe's a poet and he's a pickerHe's a prophet and he's a pusherHe's a pilgrim and a preacherAnd a problem when he's stonedHe's a walking contradictionPartly truth and partly fictionTaking every wrong directionOn his lonely way back homeHe has tasted good and evilIn your bedrooms and your barsAnd he's traded in tomorrow for todayRunning from his devils, LordAnd reaching for the starsAnd losing all he loved along the wayBut if this world keeps right on turningFor the better or the worseAnd all he ever gets is older and aroundFrom the rocking of the cradleTo the rolling of the hearseThe going up was worth the coming downHe's a poet and he's a liarHe's a prophet and he's a dreamerHe's a pilgrim and a preacherAnd a problem when he's stonedHe's a walking contradictionPartly truth and partly fictionTaking every wrong directionOn his lonely way back home
