Mark Heard We Know Too Much
[Verse 1]
I went down where the road meets the sea
And I took everything that I own
I was sitting on catastrophe's knee
I was expecting Armageddon to come
Oh, the highway was choked with its usual
Clots of pickups and loud radios
The airwaves were full of the obvious
And I was muttering "what have we done"
[Chorus 1]
And you cried out to stop me
You cried out to stop me - I said it's too late
You and me we know too much, hey
You and me we know too much
Hey
[Verse 2]
Hey, well I dreamed that we found bloody guns
As we were looking for holes in the air
Someone shouted we were the ones
So I stepped on the gas in despair
I woke up from the dream in a sweat
With the knowledge of evil and good
Oh I looked at my own silhouette
It looked back with a bad attitude
[Chorus 2]
You reached out to touch me
You reached out to touch me - I said it's too true
You and me we know too much, hey
You and me we know too much
Hey
[Verse 3]
In our hearts we are wandering gypsies
In our minds we are heirs to the jewels
To the poor we are swaddled in riches
To the rich we ain't nothing but poor
We don't know what became of our fortune
It could rescue or end other lives
We are gathering speed through this tunnel
To go down where the truth meets the lie
[Chorus 3 - Outro]
You reach out to soothe me
You reach out to soothe me - I said it's too cruel
You and me we know too much
Hey hey - we know too much
You and me we know too much
Hey hey - we know too much
You and me we know too much
We know too much
We know too much
You and me know too much
Hey hey we know too much
Hey oh we know too much
Oh hey hey we know too much
