[Verse 1]
Horizon has been defeated
By the pirates of the new age
Alien casinos
Well, maybe it's just time to say

[Chorus]
The things can go bad
And make you wanna run away
But as we grow older
The trouble just seems to stay

[Verse 2]
Future complication
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 them rigs begin to drill
The drilling goes too far

[Chorus]
Things can go bad
And make you wanna run away
But as we grow older
Horizon begins to fade away
Begin to fade away
[Verse 3]
Thingama-jigsaw puzzle
Anger, don't you step too close
'Cause people are lonely
And only animals with fancy shoes
And hallelujahs exact nothing
And 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
Ah, sometimes, man, it make you wanna yell

That things can go bad
And make you wanna run away
But as we grow older
Horizon begins to fade away
Begin to fade away

Fade and fade and fade and fade and fade
Fade, fade away

[Bridge]
No, I would not give you false hopes
On this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Oh, little darling mine
I can't for the life of me
Remember a Saturday
I know they say just let it be
But it just don't work out that way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again
But I would not give you false hope
Not on this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Yes, it's only a motion away
