Too Far To Catch Me

Bimini Road, Madison Gazebo Concert Series, July, 2002.

Singing the song much the same way
Every song that I've heard
Melody ain't nothing special
Nothing deep in my words
Talking the long way around things
Make it up any way I can
Taking it too far to catch me
They'll never know just who I am

Making some tracks in the desert
Hung on the edge of my knife
Mesmerized by the sameness
Caught in the headlights of life
Look at the long road behind me
Travellin' any way I can
Taking it too far to catch me
They'll never know just who I am

Hasn't the Lord got no mercy
Isn't the devil my chum
Those aren't angels that I see
I am not comfortably numb
Choices laid out before me
Choosing 'em any way I can
Taking it too far to catch me
They'll never know just who I am

This ain't my kind of diamond
This ain't my kind of jewel
This ain't my kind of diamond
I ain't that kind of fool
Make it the hard way, I know it
Making it any way I can
Taking it too far to catch me
They'll never know just who I am
