Savatage - A Little Too Far

Savatage - A Little Too Far (Studio Version)

Album: Streets: A Rock Opera (1991)

Lyrics:

Do you remember
Look at me
At all the things we said we'd be
We'd beat the house
We'd push the odds
We'd take it all we had the cards

With years to burn
And years to trash
Livin' life based on flash
But somehow reaching for the stars
I think we went a bit too far

Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back

When everything you touch turns gold
Can weigh you down
Can make you old
When metal doesn't ring the same
Reaction from inside your brain
And all the years we offered up
To gods who couldn't get enough
Though we still stay up all night
The mornings aren't quite as bright

Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back

And all those things we thought we learned
As we watch our bridges burn
While standing in the afterglow
I guess we gave them quite a show
And who's to say what it's about
When John Wayne caught the last train out
And Spock and Kirk have had enough
And no one's left to beam me up

Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
Got to get back
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
Yeah
Oh ho
I never meant to take it this far

This METAL BAND inspired me a lot because the lyrics of every song has a lot of positive messages in it and some negative too but they have a unique style this is my favorite Metal BAND their guitarist died. R.I.P. CRISS OLIVIA you will be missed one of the greatest guitarist of the 80's...

When everything you touch turns gold

Can weigh you down

Can make you old

When metal doesn't ring the same

Reaction from inside your brain

And all the years we offered up

To gods who couldn't get enough

Though we still stay up all night

The mornings aren't quite as bright

[MultiCowboys4life]

best savatage songs ever

believe

a little to far

when the crowds are gone

if i go away

alone you breath

out on the streets 85 version

in the dream
