Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head
I'm walkin' up a hill to get my fortune read
And I can still take rejection but it's getting harder to do
I wish I could show you how you've hurt me
In a way that wouldn't hurt you too
Tennis shoes are hangin' from a telephone wire
I've got a little money, I could get a little higher
I was alright for awhile but you know how it goes
Everything in moderation, including moderation I suppose
I never did like the people where I was employed
They were all out to get me 'cause I'm paranoid
Now I'm workin' 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 more time
Too soon to tell
It's too soon to tell
Too soon to tell by and by
Oh, it's too soon to tell
What's goin' to happen to you when you die
It's too soon to tell what we will ever avenge
They say that living well is the best revenge
I say, "Bullshit, the best revenge is revenge"
This isn't over, Lord, we're gonna meet again
And I say, Lord, if you're up there, you have sure got some nerve
Seems like even the wicked we 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 secret, keep it from me
And if you're so God Almighty
Well, then what's with all the mystery?
Well, I would love to trust you, buddy
But you're clearly keeping secrets from me
Too soon to tell
Too soon to tell
It's too soon to tell by and by
Lord, it's too soon to tell, but
Oh, what happen to you, you when you 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 signed
Don't give up on me, baby
I think I could be losin' my mind
I've just met too many people and I love them all too much
They're scattered all over this whole country
I could never possibly stay in touch with all of 'em I'm travellin'
Almost forever it seems
You too will wake up one morning
And you will have a lot more memories than dreams
Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head
I'm walkin' down the sill without my fortune read
I can still take rejection but it's gettin' harder to do
Wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way
That wouldn't hurt you too
I wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way
That wouldn't hurt you too
