We Know Too Much - Michael Been

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»

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

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

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

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

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
