Stan Ridgway - Gone the distance lyrics

rate me

Ocean wide and water deep

Noddin' off you fall asleep

No one understands their pain

Look outside it's about to rain

Fallin' out of a blue sky

Walk the dog and swat the fly

No one's 'round to recognize

Shades of black behind blue eyes

Now you've gotta prove it all to me

Or you can let it pass just like a speeding car

Is there something left here you gotta see?

Or is it all a million miles from where you are?

Trees are tall and grass is green

One's alone and two's a team

Play guitar and make a scene

Read about it in a magazine

Tired of playin' what to be?

Friend is now an enemy

Slam a door and break a glass

From there to here has gone too fast

Now you've gotta prove it all to me

Then you let it slide to somewhere far

Is there something left here you gotta see?

Or is it all a million miles from where you are?
