"Traveled Too Far" lyrics - MIKE GORDON

Midnight strangers, drive-by rangers
Scrape my side when I fly by this dark windy road
Neon lights shine out by the horizon line
I told you I won't be long but I'm floating further from home
Laughing shadows, haunted grassy meadows
The only familiar face I see is a ghost in the tar
My blood is burning, 'cause I feel that yearning
To find some trouble, though I know I've traveled
Just a little too far
I don't wanna go back when I think that I might
Find something further ahead
But I don't know where I am, I'm starting to wish I could see
Your sweet clementine eyes instead

Whoa, I realize I've traveled much too far
Whoa, I realize I've traveled much too far
Whoa, I realize I've traveled much too far
I'm starting to know now

Big grey street lights, screaming cat fights
I glide through the city and it seems so pretty with a band playing loud
A lady in a manhole lights up the Roman candle
It shoots through my car and it
Cuts me a scar and I peel on out
With the city now behind me the moon tries to blind me
He knows I got free but he laughs at me in my shivering car
It feels like I'm soaring through space with my worries
I start to unravel when I see I've traveled
Just a little too far
When the only planet left is the one that they say
Has been demoted
I start to wonder where my rickety spacecraft here has floated

Whoa, I realize I've traveled much too far
Whoa, I realize I've traveled much too far
Whoa, I realize I've traveled much too far
I'm starting to know now

I'm losing time but I feel so alive
I can't complain this time but I wish you were by my side
