A Little Too Far

Do you remember Look at me And all the things we'd said we'd be We'd beat the house We'd push the odds We'd take it all we had the cards With years to burn And years to trash Living lies based on flash But somehow reaching for the stars I think we went a bit too far Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far When everything you touch turns gold Can weigh you down Can make you old When metal doesn't ring the same Reaction from inside your brain And all those years we offered up To gods who couldn't get enough And though we still stay up all night The mornings aren't quite as bright Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far And all those things we thought we'd learned As we watched our bridges burn While standing in the afterglow I guess we gave them quite a show When John Wayne caught the last train out And Spock and Kirk have had enough And no one's left to beam me up Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far --- A Little Too Far - Savatage
