Alone So Far Lyrics by Old 97's

Fight Songs

1999

I watch, as it stops for a girl
A moment, elaborate and weak
I am easy in her midst
Why elaborate, when there's no need to?
But I do, all night
My words ring like money off a bar
But she's here, asleep now
One can only go alone so far
One can only go alone so far
I dream of a deep dark grave
Seven feet below Saint Augustine
And she's so easy in her breathing
Why fall in love, when there's no need to?
But we do all night
Sleep like spoons, forget whom we are
But she's here, and she's wound down now
One can only go alone so far
One can only go alone so far
