Common cool, he was a proud young fool in a kick-ass wal-mart tie

Rippin down the main drag, trippin on the headlights rollin by

In the early dawn when the cars were gone, did he hear the master's call?

In the five-and-dime did he wake and find he was only dreamin after all, 'cause


This is an ordinary town and the prophet stands apart

This is an ordinary town and we brook no wayward heart

And every highway leads you prodigal back home

To the ordinary sidewalks you were born to roam


Rock of ages, love contagious, shine the serpent fire

So sang the sage of sixteen summers in the upstairs choir

So sang the old dog down the street beside his wailing wall

"Go home, go home" the mayor cried when jesus came to city hall, 'cause


This is an ordinary town, and the prophet stands alone

This is an ordinary town and we crucify our own

And every highway leads you prodigal again

To the ordinary houses you were brought up in


Raised on hunches and junk food lunches and punch-drunk ballroom steps

You get to believing you're even-steven with the kids at fast track prep

So you dump your bucks on a velvet tux and you run to join the dance

But your holy shows and the romans know you're just a child of

Circumstance, 'cause


This is an ordinary town and the prophet has no face

This is an ordinary town and the seasons run in place

And every highway leads you prodigal and true

To the ordinary angels watchin over you
