Lost and Found

I always wanted to be someone else It always seemed to me the way to be A name in my life seemed to be less I've changed it so many times I forget But the man at the Century Cafe says Stop fooling yourself like I once did I was a star once, yes, indeed But I forgot just who I was People asking for too much 'Til I couldn't tell for sure Said, there's a man sleeping it off in the alleyway Sleep beneath the air of dawn, a ten below winter's day Makes her stomach turn and she runs away Calls up a homeless man and hasn't run off What she don't understand is he was once in your shoes Thinking like no one does, how you never lose Slowly slipping, inching towards the booth He's just another man you've seen No different from you and me Just misplaced a dream or two Oh Not everyone was born with a golden crutch So if you don't give a helping hand, do me this much Don't laugh or scorn to be in with your friends 'Cause you might just be lying there in the end Ah, this is what the old man said Day before he met the dead Lost and found and lost again Oh, he was lost and found and lost again Yeah, he was lost and found and lost again Oh, he was lost and found and lost again Mmhm, he was lost and found and lost again
