How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Nearly Sane]

Well, we know where we're going
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowing
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

Yeah

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
I'm feeling okay this morning
And you know
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command

Here we are
We may have gone our different ways
But since we are
The kind of friends who'll always stay
No matter what the pain
Learning to love that cap o rain
Ready to say we're here to stay in every way
Although we'e got our different

[Chorus]
Points of view
We've been there once before
And kept our points of view
It doesn't really matter if they're never quite the same
We have our rules in different ways
We play the games of different folks with different strokes
And keep our points of view

Many a tear has to fall
But it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things your hearts can rise above

[Nearly Sane]

I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up, you spread me all around
In the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust, you see
It's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby, losing my favourite game

https://youtu.be/azTbhaHhcno?si=lZWcspG6oHU8t_S-

[Nearly Sane]

Here I am
I'm playin' day dreamin' fool again
You're my favourite game

And you are the one
Whose got my head in the clouds above
You're the one that I love

And you're my
Honey, you're my favourite waste of time
You're my
Said you're my favourite waste of time

Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

Fools in love
Well are there any other kind of lovers
Fools in love
Is there any other kind of pain
Everything you do
Everywhere you go now
Everything you touch
Everything you feel
Everything you see
Everything you know now
Everything you do
You do it for your lady love
Your lady love

In the middle of the football game
At the beach in the pouring rain
Standing on a hillside staring at the sun
People hurry by the unfortunate one
With the faraway eyes and the mystery smile
Moving my body in a ragamuffin style
I can't sit down when I hear it start
I hear your heart everywhere I go


https://youtu.be/k0n8QMYAnRg?si=KJ6a7R9EYkfJzhBA

[Nearly Sane]

I'd give this love a second try
First I just imagined all your qualities and that's my fault
But if you could put my feet back on the ground
We could try to introduce ourselves
I'd like to get to know you

Let me kiss all of these tears coming down
I heard a night bird singing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Your face is calming me down
Maybe I'll just stop thinking
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

And the summer became the fall
I was not ready for the winter
It makes no difference at all
'Cause I wear boots all summer long
My eye makeup, dark, and it's careless
Same circles around my eyes
Sometimes the real color of my skin
My eyes, without any shadow

And when I call, will you walk gently through my shadow?
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of, the ones who walk away
With their capes pulled around them tight
Crying for the night
Cry for the nightbird tonight

The moon that lingered over London town;
poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love,
the whole darn world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars,
it was such a romantic affair,
And as we kissed and said goodnight,
A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square

What, what does it mean
To dream what you dream
To believe what you see

Why, why do we fear
To try to fly near
Just beneath the machine

What, what does it mean
To dream what you dream
To believe what you see

Why, why do we fear
To try to fly near
Just beneath the machine
Just beneath the machine
Just beneath the machine
Just beneath the machine

[Aruntraveller]

Well, I just took a ride
In a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean

Do you want to ride?
Sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your zodiac sign

It flies in and out of dream
It's antiseptically clean
You gotta know it

I've got a silver machine (silver machine)
I've got a silver machine (silver machine)

P.C. Thirty-One said "We caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures ohh oh oh oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Do do do do do
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead

[Nearly Sane]

Give me a song or rhythm
Making them sweat, that's what I'm giving them
Now, they know
You talk about the Hammer
When you're talkin 'bout a show
That's hyped and tight
Singers are sweatin'
So pass them a wipe or a tape
To learn
What it's gonna take in the 90's to burn
The chart's legit
Either work hard or you might as well quit

That's word, because, you know
You can't touch this
You can't touch this
Break it down!

Stop, Hammer time!

Closing time, open all the doors
And let you out into the world
Closing time, turn all of the lights on
Over every boy and every girl

Closing time, one last call for alcohol
So, finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time, you don't have to go home
But you can't stay here

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

Hello, you know you look even better
Than the way you did now before (before)
And the moment that you kissed my lips
You know I started to feel wonderful (wonderful)
It's something incredible
There's sex in your chemicals, oh (sex in your chemicals)

Ooh, let's go, you're the best way I know
To escape the extraordinary (ordinary)
This world ain't for you and I know for damn sure
This world ain't for me (world ain't for me)
Lift off and say goodbye
Just let your fire set me free

Oh, moonshine (ooh)
Take us to the stars tonight (ooh)
Take us to that special place (ooh)
That place we went the last time, the last time

Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine

Now the revenue man wanted frandaddy bad
Headed up the holler with everything he had
Before my time, but I've been told
He never come back from Copperhead Road

I was born in a dump
My mother died
My daddy got drunk
They Left me here
To die or grow
In the middle of

Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
'Cause when it comes on top
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!

Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound-for-pound, costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothing to gain except killing your brain


(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Blow!)

If you wanna hang out, you've gotta take her out
Cocaine
If you wanna get down, down on the ground
Cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie
Cocaine

If you got that lose, you wanna kick them blues
Cocaine

When your day is done and you wanna run
Cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie
Cocaine
