Savatage – A Little Too Far lyrics

Album: Streets

Do you remember look at me
At all the things we said we'd be
We'd beat the house we'd push the yards
We'd take it all we had the cards

With years to burn
And years to trash
Livin' life
Based on flash
But somehow reaching for the stars
I think we went a bit too far

Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
I never meant to take it this far
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back

When everything you touch turns gold
Can weigh you down, can make you old
And metal doesn't ring the same
Reaction from inside your brain

And all the years we offered up,
To gods who couldn't get enough,
Though we still stay up all night,
The mornings aren't quite as bright.

Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
I never meant to take it this far
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back

And all those things we thought we learned,
As we watched our bridges burn,
While standing in the afterglow,
I guess we gave them quite a show

And who's to say what it's about,
When John Wayne caught the last train out,
And Spook and Kirk had had enough,
And no one's left to beam me up

Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
I never meant to take it this far
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
I never meant to take it this far
