Lyrics: Too Far Gone

Be sure the grounds are kept
The best tears are the ones we never wept
The one or two nights we slept together

There was a lovely velvet sky
The trees were white and we were out of line
A blurry twilight pool of clear green time
A mountain stream of consciousness unwinding

Where were you when they dropped the bomb
Were you lying awake or too far gone
To notice the world had shattered
Too gone to see that anything mattered

Momma’s home and she is mad
You are not the child she wanted
Not quite what they’d counted on
And her life it's so very dull
And this just makes it all so kind of tragic

Where were you when they dropped the bomb
Lying awake or too far gone
To notice the world had shattered
Too gone to see that anything matters

I thought I saw myself in so many empty wells
That looked like love but wore like cheap carnations
At some Texas roadhouse welcome party for the democrats
But there’s no time for selfish despair
Your god and my god had a torrid affair
And we’re the bastards trying to hide
In the well pressed suit of middle class pride

Momma’s home and she is mad
You are not the child she wanted
Not quite what they’d counted on
And her life it's so very dull
And this just makes it all so kind of tragic

Where were you when they dropped the bomb
Were you lying awake or too far gone
To notice the world had shattered
Too gone to see
Too gone to see
