 | DO YOU REMEMBER? LOOK AT ME AND ALL THE THINGS WE SAID WE'D BE. WE BEAT THE HOUNDS, WE PUSHED THE ODDS. WE'D TAKE IT ALL - WE HAD THE CAUSE. 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. do you remember? look at me and all the things we said we’d be. we beat the hounds, we pushed 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 reachin’ for the stars, i think we went a bit too far. gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back. i never meant to take it this far. gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta 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 those years we offered up to gods who couldn’t get enough; and though we still stay up all night, the mornings aren’t quite as bright. gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back. i never meant to take it this far! gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back. and all those things we thought we learned - as we watched, our bridges burned! while standing in the afterglow, i guess we gave ‘em quite a show! but who’s to say what it’s about when john wayne caught the last train out? when spock and kirk have had enough? and no one’s left to beam me up? gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back. i never meant to take it this far! gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back! i never meant to take it this far! oh! yeah! i never meant to take it this far…!
