Silver Jews (The)

Long Long Gone
I never tried as hard as I could I've seen more than I've understood Take my father who came back from the dead "I needed just one more drink," he said He sat there reading books While my mother slowly lost her looks And even though we were poor The sun still shined on our door O Lord! Please come down from the mountain Some of us are broke and having problems And everybody knows, that I know what's going on And if cars could run on teardrops, I'd be long, long gone I got a plan to get me out of debt I'm gonna play this to perfect a bet I'm gonna change the pattern of the stars I'd like to horse-whip all these VCRs Screw the soft rock and the salad bars Let's turn our backs on all the moviestars Let's raise our voices up and sing: "We are not one with everything." O Lord! Please come down from the mountain Some of us are broke and having problems And everybody knows, that I know what's going on And if cars could run on teardrops, I'd be long, long gone Long, long gone Long, long gone From Letras Mania
