Lyrics
I just have this song I gotta sing for you
I finally think I found it
Oh, I know all those old songs, really, I still know "The Changes"
And sometimes I feel like a green Wurlitzer
I love it when ya, you know, when you ask me for those old songs and everything, but
It's funny 'cause what keeps you alive is what kills you, you know
And you get, too much of the old shit you know, uh, good night
So here's a song I wrote especially for you
Especially you loud boisterous mothers out there, I can hear ya
Just pretend you can hear that old pool hall clankin' in the background
I know you can relate to this song
It's a song I wrote about myself
It's called "Too Far Gone"
Even though there've been -
Maybe nine songs with the same title in the last two years
I don't let things like that bother me
If I'm too far gone, I got the right to say it, right?
Okay, just checkin' with ya
It's 'cause of this abyss here
It's 'cause of this hole between us that I have to keep -
Re-re-affirming ourselves, ya know
Like I sh-
Here we go anyway
I was gonna tell you somethin', about -
I was gonna tell you somethin', but -
Okay, alright I'll tell ya, okay?
Then I'll do the song
We'll be here- a long time
Okay, that's not it, that's not it
Just think of this as George burns his cigar
When I look down here in the pit
When I did an earlier show tonight
I just wanna tell you that, uh
I don't know if any other artists who ever play here
I use the word, uh, loosely, uh
Before us told you this, but uh, down in the pit there, uh
Right down in here
Can I have a little light on that so that people can see?
Uh, can you light up the pit, please?
Well anyway, I wanna tell ya folks
You don't have to be able to see me to hear what I'm saying
What I'm gonna tell you is, I saw Judy Garland down there tonight earlier
She was wearing a red dress, with red lipstick
And she had some, yeah uh, little bit of music with her right here, uh
One of those music folios, it said "Somewhere over the rainbow"
Had a picture of her as a little girl looking up at me with the blue sky behind her
And there she was, Judy Garland in a red dress with a -
Piece of music and she looked up and she said
"How's the business, Neil?"
You don't have to believe me
