Gone The Distance Lyrics by Stan Ridgway

Gone The Distance Lyrics

    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?
