on your way to the best years of your life
everyone's banging on their gongs
the sooner you leave the sooner you're home
back in massachusetts

to your golden age where they tuck you in at night

you didn't see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
this time you're not homecoming king

did you hear that? have you heard that sound before?
do you even know where it is coming from?
it's getting too loud it keeps on pushing you out
into the arms of 1994

you didn't see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
you're not homecoming king

you stand on your own
wasn't what you hoped at all
do you still recall it
giving dead-arms in the hall?
stay right where you are
you'll be half of who you were
when you always would win
so count the days 'til you give in

back to massachusetts
to your golden age where your crown is shining bright

you didn't see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
this time you're not homecoming king

did you see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
this time you're not homecoming king
