A Little Too Far

Do you remember? Look at me At all the things we 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 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 When 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 watch 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 Spock and Kirk 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 Yeah, oh ho I never meant to take it this far
