E<\/span>very alien, every angel, every crown prince in disguise, every escapee, every condemned man on the lose — or, for that matter, every soon-to-be-ascended avatar — must go through that moment of realization, a moment when he knows just what he’s leaving behind when he’s called home.

GOING HOME<\/p>\n

Wake up baby<\/span>
\nturn your light down low…<\/span>
\nI want ta see your pretty face
\none more time before I go<\/p>\n

They’re coming for me in the morning<\/span>

\nWhen you see that light in the sky
\nthat’s when you know I’m going home<\/p>\n

\nDon’t try to call me baby
\ncause they ain’t got no telephone
