So Beyond Me

Sloan


Yet another thing that I didn't know 
Why is it seemingly so 
Beyond me 

I feel that we're on a roll 
So now I feel it's time to rock 
Now that we're out of the hole 
We're only running down the clock 

You know that every so often 
It so happens the planets align 
The paper said my moon's in Venus 
So I'm taking it as a sign 

I for one feel that this is the time 
Let's return to the scene of the crime 
Rock and roll is alive and alright 
Let them know vis a vis classifieds 

It should be understated 
But don't make it oversimplified 
Like you eulogy related 
How I lived and then I died 

Yet another thing that I didn't know 
Why is it seemingly so 
Beyond me 
Why is it seemingly so 
Beyond me 

Dance with the creeps and the queens 
The kings have all gone home to bed 
Gone is the American dream 
That would have gone right to my head 

'Cause we couldn't get accustomed 
And we couldn't find a thing to wear 
You underestimate us 
You can hate us for all I care 

Yet another thing that I didn't know 
Why is it seemingly so... 

I put a quarter in the record machine 
I thought I'd dedicated one to Jolene 
But it was full of records I'd never seen 
The times change and it's so beyond me
