The Horizon Has Been Defeated lyrics

The horizon has been defeated

by the pirates of the new age.

Alien casinos,

well, maybe it's just time to say

that things can go bad

and make you wanna run away,

but as we grow older,

the trouble just seems to stay.

Future complications

in the strings between the cans,

but no prints can come from fingers

if machines become our hands.

And then our feet become the wheels

and then the wheels become the cars

and then the rigs begin to drill

until the drillin' goes too far.

Things can go bad

and make you wanna run away,

but as we grow older,

horizon begins to fade, fade, fade,

fade away.

Thing-a-ma-jigsaw puzzled.

Anger, don't you step too close

'cause people are lonely and only 

animals with fancy shoes.

Hallelujah zig zag nothing.

Misery, it's on the loose

'cause people are lonely and only 

animals with too many tools

that can build all the junk that we sell.

Aw, sometimes, man, 

make you want to yell that...

...things can go bad

and make you wanna run away,

but as we grow older,

horizon begins to fade away,

fade away.

Fade, fade, fade.

Fade, fade, fade.
