It's that time again when I lose my friends
Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure
I am pulled apart, and my swollen heart
Has flipped out of the pan into the fire
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
But the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
After thirty years I've become my fears
I've become the kind of man I've always hated
I am in love insane with a sense of shame
That I threw stones at the condemned and now I'm slated
I may have paid for sex
But I was blessed by love
In this land that's ruled by gods of lust and money
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
But the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
I don't know where these two lines come from:
You can throw him out, you can spit on him
Call what he does a sin if it makes you feel better

It's that time again when I lose my friends
Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure
I am pulled apart, and my swollen heart
Has flipped out of the pan into the fire
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
But the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
After thirty years I've become my fears
I've become the kind of man I've always hated
I am in love insane with a sense of shame
That I threw stones at the condemned and now I'm slated
I may have paid for sex
But I was blessed by love
In this land that's ruled by gods of lust and money
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
But the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home

It's that time again when I lose my friends
Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure
This is a testing time when the choice is mine
Am I a fool for love or foolish for desire
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
But the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
After thirty years I've become my fears
I've become the kind of man I've always hated
I am in love insane with a sense of shame
That I threw stones at the condemned and now I'm slated
I may have paid for sex
But I was blessed by love
In this land that's ruled by gods of lust and money
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
But the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home

I believe that those are the lyrics to the 7" version of the song.
And I believe that these are the lyrics to the long version of the song (which I have on Gold Mother):

Yes it is weird because I always had this argument of whether it was "paid for sex" or "prayed for sex" and also whether the "paid for" had a double meaning. Odd that nearly all the lyrics on the internet seem to miss this out as I thought it was a standard version with those lyrics in.

The lyrics quoted above don't match the version in this video (which I believe is the album version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWd9mqC80BU
