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 gra**y 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
