Too Soon to Tell

1 views

Lyrics

The low grey clouds rolling over my head
 I'm walking up the hill to get my fortune read
 I can still take rejection but it does get harder to do
 I wish I could show you how you'd hurt me
 In a way that wouldn't hurt you too
 Tennis shoes hanging from a telephone wire
 I've got a little money, I could get a little high
 I was alright a while but you know how it goes
 Everything in moderation including moderation I suppose
 I never did like the people where I was employed
 They was always out to get me cause I'm paranoid
 Now I'm working for myself and that don't pay a lousy dime
 If what we're here to do is learn to forgive I'm gonna
 need a little more time
 It's too soon to tell, too soon to tell
 It's too soon to tell, too soon to tell
 It's too soon to tell, too soon to tell
 By and by
 It's too soon to tell what's going to happen to you when you die
 It's too soon to tell what we'll ever avenge
 They say that living well is the best revenge
 I say bullsh*t, the best revenge is to win
 This isn't over, we're going to meet again
 And good Lord if you're up there, you sure got some nerve
 Seems like even the wicked get worse than they deserve
 We're afraid to die every goddamn one of us
 I swear to God it's like you're makin' fun of us
 Not worth keepin', or too good to keep
 You got a better kinda secret, better wait 'til I'm asleep
 And if you're so God almighty well then what's with all this mystery?
 Yes I wanna trust ya buddy, but you're clearly keeping secrets from me
 It's too soon to tell, too soon to tell
 It's too soon to tell, too soon to tell
 It's too soon to tell, too soon to tell
 By and by
 It's too soon to tell what's gonna happen to us when we die
 At the fortune teller's on the second floor
 In bright red letters hangin' off of the door
 It said "closed", I think it might've been some kinda sign
 Don't give up on me baby; I think I could be losin' my mind
 I've just met too many people that I love too much
 They're scattered all over; I could never stay in touch
 With travellin', almost forever it seems
 You too will wake up one morning with a lot more memories than dreams
 Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head
 I'm walkin' down the hill without my fortune read
 I can still take rejection but it does get harder to do
 I wish I could show you how you'd hurt me
 In a way that wouldn't hurt you too
 I wish I could show you how you'd hurt me
 In a way that wouldn't hurt you too
