Gone the Distance
Stan Ridgway
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
