A Little Too Far

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
