Too Many Tears

Now as you know it's your time on this earth While we're rocking the cradle, we're riding the hearse We keep moving upward toward everything free And kindly look downward and oh, you'll see me I've had six years of luck, I've had six on the line And I've poured myself out like an old bitter wine I've seen much of nothin', and nothin's the game I've been thrown on my back and I don't know my name! There's too many tears Too many tears Too many people in too many years Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain That break like a fever and fall like rain! (Like rain...) Points on the map, tears line the way I've seen all your pretty things and oh, it's a shame There's been much confusion with too many hurt I feel my words dyin' down in the dirt! I've had lies in my head, there's been lies in my heart I've been tortured by this riddle and I don't know how to start With a lightning flash and thunder, boys And my mind it starts to click So do what you must do and you best do it quick! There's too many tears Too many tears Too many people in too many years Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain That break like a fever and fall like rain! (Like rain.) Whoa There's too many tears Too many tears! Doctor, oh doctor My world's in your hands I feel like I'm dyin' and oh, I need a plan Sister, sweet sister There's blood on my lips Why does it feel like this wound's doing flips? The dream's come on time, it's clear I can tell I've seen your work everywhere and there's mercy in hell With a lightning flash and thunder, boys And again it all comes down And I see my life merging with these poor souls underground! There's too many tears Too many tears Too many people in too many years Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain That break like a fever Whoah-oh-oh There's too many tears Too many tears Too many people in too many years Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain That break like a fever and fall like rain! (Like rain...) Whoa-oh-oh There's too many tears Too many tears! There's too many tears Too many tears! Fall like rain! There's too many tears Too many tears! Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh Break like a fever and fall like rain! Whoa-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh), whoa-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh), whoa-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh), whoa-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh...) There's too many tears (too many tears...) Fall like rain!
