Common cool, he was a proud young fool in a kick-a__ Wal-Mart tie
Ripping down the main drag, tripping on the headlights rolling 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 dreaming after all

'Cause this is an ordinary town and the prophet stands apart
This is an ordinary town and we brook no wayward heart
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
Every highway leads you prodigal again
To the ordinary houses you were brought up in, yeah

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 and 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 watching over you, mm-hm
