Lyrics How goes it, Far? - Harry Dean Lewis

I've stitched and sewn
Flesh to the bone
Through troubled waters hoping
I could hold my own
I wanna know
How far this goes
Through troubled waters
Hoping I could hold my own
I wanna know
We read up and we're leading by example now
And feet up old mahogany an ample sound
And fed up on the proteins of a patient crowd
Relieve us of all our sinful, wrongful, voodoo-vowels
And we trust not the eagle nor stomping grounds
Believe not beyond the leap that lies beyond the lucid lounge
We forgot what makes us human we are all so proud
To be not the mainstream and still on the same team
The tread softens on the way to top
Reveres reverse stop in tears we all watch
In turn I'll catch up we learn not that much
I heard from word of mouth the furnace burns touch

I've stitched and sewn
Flesh to the bone
Through troubled waters hoping
I could hold my own
I wanna know
How far this goes
Through troubled waters
Hoping I could hold my own
I wanna know

We carry colors carry keys the city
Gritty heart getting rid of a painful start to the week I mean
It's never pretty on the side of the underdog
When the water arises fog and the morning that catches up
We say it's better for the better amount to something
Like quenching a drought where fumbling these tempers are out
Too little too late too brittle to hate
A kids only right
As the wrong time and the place

Lalalalalalalalala
Wait I've seen a flaw in the 5 0
Trading out a junkie's life like an avocado
Hate it strips the color we asked for
Make me an offer and ill wait on the drive thru
Traits are nothing more than bravado
Beat your chest with your chains you paid your price for
Quest I heard the head of the tribe called
I make mistakes too I just wonder how far it goes?
