so far gone
from Unreleased .............................................. In the mall outside the organ store, He plays the Lowry Genie And if you'd fake a smile and ask for more, He'd tell you that it's easy. But don't be fooled by what you see, unless you know the truth Cause you have seen this man on MTV In a band called Wasted Youth. Now, for Wasted Youth he sang the lead Though all he did was shout He used to bang his face down on the keys-every night Until he passes out. He always wished it could be louder, Somehow wilder, somehow more. Then he found the most outrageous sound In the Lowry organ store Now he's so far gone it scares me And he used to be my friend.... Chorus: Oh, but he's so far gone, he's so far gone He's so gone that he's back again. I don't understand, I don't wanna know, He's so gone that he's back again Now he only wears those rumpled suits And the tackiest of ties And those broken black framed glasses Blur his 20/20 eyes In the mall he plays the samba It's the ultimate reductionist upsurge But it's proof of relativity, I guess And that outer space is curved. Because he's so far gone it scares me, And he used to be my friend.... Chorus: Oh, but he's so far gone, he's so far gone, He's so gone that he's back again. I don't understand, I don't wanna know, (spoken) I said, "hey talk to me, alright?" He just said, "it's only 39 dollars a month, Dave..." ..............................................
