Todd Snider - Too Soon To Tell lyrics

Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head I'm walkin' up a 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've hurt me In a way that wouldn't hurt you too Tennis shoes hangin' from a telephone wire I've got a little money; I could get a little higher I was alright 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 was always 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 forget I'm gonna need 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 gonna 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**, the best revenge is revenge 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 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
